Transfer Google Drive to S3 Without Downloading
The issue is that my Mac doesn’t have anywhere near the space needed to download all of it first — it would completely fill the drive. I’m hoping there’s some kind of direct-transfer method so the files can go from Google Drive straight into an S3 bucket without dragging my computer into the middle. Has anyone actually pulled this off?

I ran into the same problem a while back when I had to move a ton of client data from google drive to s3. Downloading wasn’t realistic for me either, so I looked for something that could connect both services at the same time. What worked was mounting them in Finder so I could drag folders right from Google Drive into S3 without saving anything locally. It handled big transfers surprisingly well, and it saved my SSD from getting hammered by temporary files. Might be worth trying if you're moving large volumes.
