AWS S3 ClientsAmazon Web Services or AWS is amazing. There's so much I'm like the proverbial kid in a candy store. This changes everything. Walls are torn down technologywise. And price isn't a barrier.
One issue is what is so seemingly simple like sync a local directory to AWS S3 is so complicated. There are a number of ways to automatically sync items that I have found in my travels and wanted to list them out.

This is the standard of what you want. It connect a new DRIVE LETTER to your computer which syncs with S3. So it adds a Z DRIVE to your computer. That Z DRIVE is actually your S3. Cool.
The problem becomes, what if I don't want it as a DRIVE LETTER and I want it to connect to an existing folder/directory.

This is strictly a command-line tool. It will walk you through getting the command correct but then you are responsible for running the command directly or on a cron. Not exactly what I was looking for.

This looks promising but it doesn't have the GovCloud access region of AWS that I need.
