Is this the Google Cloud Storage? Is it accessed as a remote file system?

For apps written against the "native" Chrome API, Google Drive is presented as a filesystem the same way as the local filesystem - any service can expose itself similarly via the [chrome.fileSystemProvider API][1].

Google Compute Engine--Debian VM--for remote dev machine. I'm using Google Cloud Storage for static web sites. It is accessed as a remote file system. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hosting-static-website...
My 2008 Macbook died in March, that triggered me to mostly use my 2013 Pixel for dev. Although I do have an 27 iMac at home.
My dev is mostly Web Dev + GCP and moving to Firebase (canonically all front end dev). Hence even though I have Ubuntu via Crouton, I rarely need a local Fuse file system. For node work and CLI work I spin up a GCP VM. The VM costs about $13 per month, but I turn the VM off and pay pennies for storage.
