How to simulate GCS for offline testing
<p>I have a Python Google App Engine app which reads files from Google Cloud Storage, and I can test it offline with the local development server (dev_appserver.py), which is great.</p>

<p>I also have a .NET tool which dumps files into the cloud storage bucket for the App Engine app to retrieve, using <code>Google.Apis.Storage.v1.StorageService</code> based on the sample <a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/dotnet-docs-samples/blob/master/storage/api/StorageSample.cs" rel="nofollow">here</a>. </p>

<p>This works fine for writing to the 'live' cloud storage, but how can I set StorageService to talk to the dev_appserver.py GCS simulator, so I can test the two tools together without using the live cloud services?</p>

<p>Alternatively, is there a different GCS local disk 'simulator' that I can use with both the .NET client libraries and the GAE local dev server?</p>
