 * I have tried both the wizard and the manual instructions but still getting the
   error below. I tried fussing around with different settings and double checked
   my service account and permissions … it all seems fine but I can’t upload any
   test images.
 * I am using AppEngine flexible environment. I unzipped the plugin into \wp-content\
   plugins before using gcloud SDK to deploy to our GCP environment. Any ideas?
 * Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2018/10. Is its parent directory
   writable by the server?

 * I believe AppEngine is the issue. This plugin is not compatible on the platform.
   It has something to do with how AppEngine and GCS interact that prevents it from
   working as expected.

 * Thanks, Eric. We want to use AppEngine but obviously need to have some persistent
   storage. This wp-stateless plugin looks much better than the one which came bundled
   with the WP distribution – tutorial / Git example which I have been working on.
   I will put a link below in case you want to see it.
 * If this ever does support AppEngine we would take another look.
