Storing data online ANDROID

Question

I am pretty confused and lost in all the documentation.

What I want to do is store a number of objects online (less than 20 Mb). The app that I am developing should be able to retrieve those objects ( preferable JSON but XML would do) and perhaps upload other such objects.

From what I see, the Google Cloud storage is not free. Is there anything that does what I need and is also free? If not, can you point me to the right documentation to achieve what I want? I have been looking into the topic for a couple of days and I am still lost between buckets, the Cloud JSON API, Cloud Storage, all these being new to me.

Any help would be much appreciated!

If you have just 20 MB of data then you may use Parse for storing data upto 1Gb for free. Also see https://parse.com/products/data. I heard from those who used it, that the API is also straight forward.
