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

Question

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 trie

Answer 1

According to the "Quotas and limits" section:

maximum total number of files (app files and static files) 3,000

The Java environment states the same

Answer 2

New numbers as of 2011:

10 000 files, 1000 per directory, 32MB app and static files total.

• http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/runtime.html#Quotas%5Fand%5FLimits

Answer 3

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.
