Where is the default GCS Bucket?

[Bentley Carr]

Hey,

I don't seem to be able to access the default GCS bucket in an app I'm creating.

It works fine on the development server but not on Google App Engine.

This says that the default GCS bucket is <app_id>.appspot.com and is displayed in the App Engine Admin console Application Settings page, under the label Google Cloud Storage Bucket but my settings doesn't have a subheading "Google Cloud Storage Bucket", it just looks like this:

It also says I can get the default bucket by app_identity.get_default_gcs_bucket_name() but that returns None. (I'm using Python.)

Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Can you go to appspot.com (the original App Engine console), open up your application, then go to the Application Settings page (the link is on the left hand nav bar) and scroll down? You'll see a Cloud Integration setting similar to this: http://imgur.com/zD9DCOY  If you see a Create button or similar, click it and wait 10-15 minutes. Then retry the call to get_default_gcs_bucket_name().

Thanks. This helped me twice today. I still have no idea where to do this in the new console! Is there anyway??

Unfortunately, there is no way that you can create a default bucket in the new developer console. To create a default bucket you have to go through the path mentioned by Vinny in the previous comment.
