Be aware that this is not free:

"Cloud Storage FUSE is available free of charge, but the storage, metadata, and network I/O it generates to and from Cloud Storage are charged like any other Cloud Storage interface. In other words, all data transfer and operations performed by Cloud Storage FUSE map to Cloud Storage transfers and operations, and are charged accordingly."

Using FUSE doesn't cost you anything extra, but it doesn't make the underlying storage free.
You will be doing storage operations silently and in a unoptimized fashion, more so if the underlying FUSE filesystem is implemented in a naive fashion.

For example, Cloud Storage never moves or renames your objects; copying and deleting the original one instead. This can end up costing quite a lot if you're using data other that in "standard store" because of minimum storage duration.
