Move Drive Projects to S3 Without Local Copies
Lately I’ve been trying to reorganize my project archives, and I realized I’ve got a ton of old builds sitting on Google Drive. Since some of them are huge, I really don’t want to download them to my laptop first — the SSD is already complaining. Has anyone figured out a clean way to move stuff straight from Drive to S3 without the whole “temporary copy on your machine” headache? I’d love to avoid babysitting the process all day.

From what I’ve played around with, it’s possible to skip the local-download step entirely if you run the transfer through a service that handles cloud-to-cloud moves for you. I once used a tool listed on mac.eltima while reading about google drive to aws s3 https://mac.eltima.com/google-drive-to-s3/ . The nice part was that everything stayed remote, so my laptop didn’t fill up, and the speed was way better than I expected. It wasn’t magic or anything, but it kept the workflow smooth enough for big media folders.
