You're paying $10/month for 2 TB of Google Drive, but 80% of those files haven't been opened in a year. Move them to S3 Glacier for $1/TB/month and cut your storage bill dramatically.

Google Drive pricing is designed for active files — documents you open daily, files you share with colleagues. But most Google Drive accounts accumulate years of files that are never accessed: old project folders, completed work, archived photos, outdated documents. These files sit on expensive storage when they could be on S3 Glacier at a fraction of the cost.

Keep recent restores fast and long-term retention cheap: hot in S3 Standard, warm in Wasabi/R2, and archive in Glacier Deep Archive—with RcloneView schedules and bucket lifecycle policies.

A single storage class rarely fits every file. Design a tiered pipeline: copy fresh data to S3 Standard for rapid access, mirror to a low-cost warm tier (Wasabi/R2) for geo redundancy, and push monthly snapshots to Glacier Deep Archive for compliance retention. RcloneView layers a GUI over rclone so you can schedule Syncs, verify with Compare, and keep lifecycle rules intactno shell scripts.
