How do I work with Google Drive?

I’ve been trying to simplify the way I handle my cloud storage because managing everything manually is starting to take too much time. I keep a lot of personal documents and shared files in Google Drive, but all my large project archives and media backups are stored in an S3 bucket. Having to constantly switch between the two different interfaces is really slowing down my daily work. So I’ve been thinking that integrating both clouds into a single workflow on my Mac would make everything much easier.

I had the same issue and eventually found a really clear explanation here google drive to s3 https://cloudmounter.net/google-drive-s3/ which helped me understand how to mount both Google Drive and Amazon S3 as local disks on macOS. Once they’re mounted, you can manage everything directly through Finder, including browsing folders, editing files, and transferring data between the two cloud storages without having to re-upload or open multiple browser windows. The whole process becomes just as simple as working with regular external drives.

That sounds incredibly convenient, especially since I deal with large files all the time. Being able to move items between Google Drive and S3 as if they were both part of my desktop setup would save me a huge amount of effort. I’m definitely going to try this approach because having a unified workflow could make a big difference in how efficiently I manage my cloud files every day.
