Simplest cloud storage service API [closed]

I need to create a Java web app that uses the API of at least two different cloud storage providers (Google Drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive, Mega, ...). I'm wondering if there's someone with experience using these APIs who can tell which are the easiest to use and which are the most difficult...

Kloudless provides a common API to several different cloud storage APIs (Dropbox, Box, GDrive, OneDrive, etc.). Kloudless also provides SDKs in popular languages and UI widgets to handle authentication and other user interactions.

You can find more information and sign up here: https://developers.kloudless.com/

Full disclosure: I work at Kloudless.

The Amazon S3 service is very simple, and I've had great experiences working with it for large files and large numbers of files in the context of web services. Once you've signed up for the service, you can use the RESTful API to create buckets and upload objects to them. The Java library is the reference library for interfacing with the services, although there are ports to other languages as well (such as boto for Python).
