My app engine app is not automatically creating default bucket I don't understand why this is. My other app works fine but when i run the same code in a new app I'm working on it doesn't create the Google cloud storage bucket. Anyone have any ideas.

Deprecated method: Go to your App Engine Developer console:
https://appengine.google.com/dashboard?&app_id=s~your-app-id
Then to Application Settings > Cloud Integration
and turn on the GCS option.
Current Method: (Thanks to Grey Panther below)
The old interface has been deprecated. In the new interface, go to:
https://console.cloud.google.com/
Then to App Engine > Settings
and click on "Create Default Bucket" under "Default Cloud Storage Bucket". (If the default bucket was already created, it will appear here instead of the "Create Default Bucket" option.)

1Where is that functionality on the new dashboard? Why can't I see that bucket in the new dashboard? – May 31 '15 at 08:37

@ErikAigner As of this writing, there doesn't appear to be a way to set a default bucket in the new Google Developer Console. I can confirm the [Activating GCS](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/googlecloudstorageclient/activate) instructions still work on the previous Admin console, and pushing `Application Settings > Cloud Integration > Create` correctly creates a default bucket even if you already have a Google Cloud project. – duozmo Aug 06 '15 at 20:25

@duozmo: the old interface no longer works but I posted a reply below about how to do it in the new interface. – Grey Panther May 06 '16 at 11:23

@GreyPanther Good catch. Looks like Google released a new new console. – duozmo May 08 '16 at 23:20
The old interface (the one indicated by @GAEfan) has been deprecated. In the new interface you can find the option to create the default cloud storage bucket by going to the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/) and then going to App Engine > Settings and clicking on "Create Default Bucket" under "Default Cloud Storage Bucket".
