Upload image to Google Cloud Storage (Java)

Question

I want to develop a java-application (for pc) which can upload any picture to Google Cloud Storage. Although I have spent my whole evening on searching for a solution, I don't have any clue how to start. Does anyone of you have experience with uploading images to Google Cloud Storage? Are there better alternatives to Google Cloud Storage?

There's a lovely Java API for using Google Cloud, including Storage: http://googlecloudplatform.github.io/google-cloud-java/0.10.0/index.html

Here's an example desktop application that uses this library to upload and download files: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-java/blob/master/google-cloud-examples/src/main/java/com/google/cloud/examples/storage/StorageExample.java

Google Cloud Storage has quite a bit of documentation, guides, and tutorials. Here's the root of it all: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/
