How do I enable Google Cloud Storage on my local development server?

Question

I want to use a GCS bucket as the backing for my blobstore but I cannot figure out how to set one up on my development server.

There are instructions for doing this

Turns out you don't need to perform any setup at all. I just assumed there was one with particular name when uploading using the blobstore and one was created for me automatically.

Incidentally, it does not seem to be documented anywhere how you can browse files in the storage of the development server. You can do it by selecting the __GsFileInfo__ entity in the Datastore Viewer admin access to your local dev server.
