I'm trying to create a bucket but it keeps giving me an error saying "the account for the specified project has been disabled."

I've seen a few people post about this problem but they all seem to be solved by turning Google Cloud Storage on in APIs & auth, which is on in my case. Here is some more info about my situation:

- It's a Google Apps account
- I've activated the project ID and ensured it is turned on in Google Apps Admin
- 'Google Cloud Storage' is the only API that is turned on in APIs & auth > APIs
- This was the first thing I tried to do after creating my App Engine account
- I don't have billing enabled

You'll need to activate billing for Cloud Storage to work.

 Is your account an administrator for the Google Apps domain? Certain admin settings block the use of cloud services.

Activate the service "Google Cloud Storage JSON API" as well.

Does this imply that once the blobstore file api get the axe, non-paid
applications cannot use Google's services to e.g. upload and store
pictures? Is it possible to enable billing and set the daily allowance
to $0?

Hi Perrti,

The last I heard on this issue, Google was looking into it. See this discussion: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine/zzpFI5PQbLI/Zki2A3RjMcgJ  where the cost of moving to Cloud Storage compared to the Blobstore is under discussion.
