Blobstore or Cloud Storage for store photo

I design an mobile app which can upload photo on GAE. These photos can not be changed, only displayed on other mobiles. Through my application, the picture will be sent only on GAE, and downloaded to the mobile clients. That's all!

I only use GAE for store photos, and datastore for store photo's data string (Like position, age...)

Do you think I have to go on the Cloud Storage (Because I would be locked after a while?), or I can stay on the Blobstore ?

I fear that in the future the Blobstore was deprecated..

Thanks !
