Google App Engine Blobs

If I am right, using the Blobstore API (http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Blobstore) requires apps to have billing enabled. However, do application need to have billing enabled to use db.BlobProperty() ? http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/typesandpropertyclasses.html#Blob

If I understand this correctly, then I only need billing enabled when using the Blobstore, but I can store binary data with BlobProperty() without having to use the Blobstore.

Yes, you can use BlobProperty without having billing enabled. But note that BlobProperty can store much smaller amounts than the Blobstore.
