updating and saving an existing blob/file in blobstore?

The docs are pretty clear about how to create/get a blob, but I can't find any reference to how to modify and save an existing blob.

Is this actually possible given the BlobInfo object?

Solution

  • You cannot modify an existing blob.

    You can use the Files API to read from an existing blob and write to a new blob.

    If you don't want to use the Files API to read the existing blob then you can use a BlobReader.
