The domain name storage.googleapis.com is owned by Google – WhoIs details here.
Google Storage stores objects that are organized into buckets (as Amazon S3 does) identified within each bucket by a unique, user-assigned key. All requests are authorized using an access control list associated with each bucket and object. Bucket names and keys are chosen so that objects are addressable using HTTP URLs.
