Google App Engine Upload File to API Directory

[belfner]

I was wondering if there was a way to upload a ZIP file to the working directory of my google endpoints API. I would like the API to read the file without having to retrieve it from google storage or some other place. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In case of an app deployed in the Cloud, the local filesystem that your application is deployed to is not writeable. This behavior ensures the security and scalability of your application. Why reading the file from GS represents a problem? Are there speed or otherwise performance considerations involved? If you are concerned about cost, your GS usage pattern may quite likely qualify as free of cost. You may have a look at the "Cloud Storage Pricing" page.
