Is it correct that you are allowed 3,000 files per App Engine app (not 1,000)?

According to this Wikipedia article, you are allowed 3,000 files per app but I was reading a thread on Google Groups that someone's Java app received a warning when it tried to upload more than 1,000 files - he got around it by bundling some files inside jars. Which is correct?

Solution

  • Updated from [Python Appengine Quotas and Limits]

    • Maximum total number of files (app files and static files): 10,000 total, 1,000 per directory
    • Maximum size of an application file: 32 megabytes
    • Maximum size of a static file: 32 megabytes

    Guido van Rossum provides the answer in Google App Engine issue 161:

    All, the combined limit on static and code files has indeed increased to 3000. There is no plan to increase it further. The following limits are also still in place:

    • 150 MB max combined size of code files

    • 10 MB max individual size of any file

    • 1000 files max per directory (not counting files in subdirectories)

    In the quoted message, "blob" refers to static files; "file" refers to code files.
