Description

When running the server locally using dev_appserver.py, saving fetched images fails (see traceback).

As it seems, Blobstore uses the deprecated Files API. Also, Blobstore is listed in the Superseded Storage Solutions and its support page suggests using Google Cloud Storage instead.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked traceback and reproducing the image-saving failure with dev_appserver.py. Trace the current Blobstore usage and identify the integration points that need to use Google Cloud Storage instead. Done means fetched images save successfully when running the server locally without relying on the deprecated Files API.
