Document storage? Saving an html page to a directory could be document storage.

They asked for comment and I think they need to be more specific that's all. If they're using the GAE db imho they should say so.

Good points. The back end is implemented on App Engine. But we provide an abstracted storage interface. Application can created "documents" (up to 1 MB of JSON, and saved using a HTTP PUT or POST). Our permissions model is based on the document - you can keep a document private to a user, or make it read/write able by others.

In addition, each document can have as many child "blobs" as you want (each blob is up to 1 MB using any format - can be text, png, json, xml, etc.).

Interestingly, each "App" is very similar to a "Document". E.g., you index.html file is a "blob" in the application.
