I think that the existing service providers do not allow you to query storage directly from the client. So in order to resolve the issues:

1. you can write a simple Server and expose REST apis which authenticate based on the APIKey passed on as a request param and get your specific data back to your client.
2. Have an embedded iframe and make the call to 2nd domain from the iframe. Get the returned JSON/XML on the parent frame and process the data.

Update: Looks like Google already solves your problem. Check this out.

On https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/libraries check the Google Cloud Storage JSON API client libraries section.
