Is google cloud storage badly designed; or am i missing something really obvious; or is it made for techies?

I'm not a techie.

I uploaded files to google cloud storage, and I want to download some of them to a different computer. How do I download files from there?

If you have it in a bucket, you can use gsutil. Just install gsutil on your local machine (for example by installing the Google Cloud SDK) and then run something like

gsutil cp gs://my-bucket/my-file .

See this thread or lot's answer.
