Look, I think that this idea is really great, but as you see, 500Mb of
total Storage and 10Mb only for each file is really really few...
Look, I want to make an app, something like this one but instead of
uploading the files here at google, I want to Upload the files in
another place, I mean, I just want the "upload form" here at GAE as a
web application but I want to store the files into another host
service and then, when the file is successfully uploaded I want to
show the users a list of what they uploaded into the service in my own
webpage, is this mashup possible? Can you please help me with some
sample code? Thanks, my e-mail is: hyl...@gmail.com, please contact me

The free storage size is 1GB, please see the below URL for details.

And you can add extra storage size by enabling the billing, please see
the below URL for details.

My code is basically designed for GAE.
However there are still a lot of different solutions to saving data to
other repository instead of GAE, but you must write the code yourself.
For example, You can modify the 'action' and point to your URL that
can receive the uploaded files and process the job of saving files.
Then send the file getting URL back to GAE.
<form action="/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="fileOwner" />
<div>FileId:  <input type="text" name="fileId" size="50" /></div>
<div>FileObject: <input type="file" name="upfile" size="50" /></div>
<div><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" /></div>
</form>

But I don't totally understand why you just need the "upload form"
here at GAE.
Since you have another hosting service, you can put the upload form on
that host, don't you?

Best,
