For a first upload into google, you can directly import your *.ics file 
via the Google calendar web interface (Settings-> Calendar Settings-> 
Calendars -> Import Calendar).

For syncing with korganizer, the akonadi-googledata resource works 
reasonably OK, but for example it can't handle recurring events. It 
did not satisfy my needs (syncing with Android smartphone via google).

 I'm using GCALDaemon (http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/) and am very 
happy with the results. You can either have it gcaldaemon sync with a 
local *.ics file on your hard disk (which would be the korganizer 
calendar), or you can run a server on localhost and you define an 
"online" calendar in korganizer to connect via http to localhost on 
port 9090. The gcaldaemon documentation is very extensive.
