Inspecting files on an old Google App Engine app


Back in 2010 I created a few App Engine apps, including this one. Over the years I've lost touch with the platform, only doing the mandatory updates Google requires to keep the app running.

Today I went to the app engine dashboard for the project, expecting to be able to inspect the data in the app files (BigQuery I think) the way I used to. I clicked every link in sight but couldn't find any file inspector.

I realize the product and interface have evolved over the years, so perhaps there's a separate dashboard for storage. Or maybe storage browsing was deprecated over the years. But I'm at a loss. Can somebody tell me where/how to find and browse my files? Or explain that I can't do that anymore?

    1. If your data was stored in datastore, they'll still be there. Navigate to https://console.cloud.google.com/datastore/databases/-default-

    2. Note that datastore has changed from a few years back.

      a) Multiple 'databases' are now supported (you now have one explicitly named 'default').

      b) Now, when you land on the datastore home page, you have to click on a database name (even if it's the default one) unlike previously when opening the datastore home page automatically loaded your datastore Kinds
