One-Way File Sync: Google Drive to AWS S3

This workflow enables one-way synchronization of files from Google Drive to AWS S3. It triggers whenever a file is updated in a specified Google Drive folder. It then retrieves all existing files from the target S3 bucket, merges the lists by filename to identify only new or changed files, and uploads those to S3 with tags and server-side encryption.

Key benefits include seamless cloud storage integration, duplicate prevention, and automated backups without manual intervention. It saves time for teams managing documents across platforms, ensuring data consistency and reducing storage costs by skipping redundant uploads.

Ideal use cases: Backing up travel logistics files (itineraries, maps) from Drive to S3 for secure archival; syncing media or reports in driving & logistics ops; or any scenario needing reliable one-way file mirroring between Google Drive and AWS S3. Setup requires Google Drive and AWS credentials, with folder ID and bucket name customization.
