google cloud-storage for existing appengine accounts

Question

i have existing appengine accounts that need to have cloud storage capability.

but it seems that i cant add it to an existing app engine account.

https://cloud.google.com/products/cloud-storage

instead i must create a new 'project' which creates a new appengine account.

is there a difference when having the cloud storage in a different 'project' beside having a different name?

thanks -lp

Answer 1

i found the solution.

the appengine settings page has a button for enabling 'Cloud Integration'

Administration->application settings->cloud integration

click the button and an existing appengine project will become a cloud project and there is now a option in the cloud console to add the cloud storage.

Answer 2

Google Cloud Storage documentation is quite explicit about enabling GCS for existing AppEngine projects:
