Rclone for google business or enterprise to the AWS govcloud

[thenicedeveloper]

Hello,

I have looked at the Rclone documentation but it is not clear to me if rclone supports backing up google drive for organizations. My organization has 250 plus users, and I want to see if I can use my admin creds and backup Google Drive for all the users withouth login into each account individually?

Also, does Rclone support backing up to the AWS S3 in the GovCloud?

Thank you in advance,

You should be able to do this with a service account and using the --drive-impersonate user@email.com flag. You'll also want --drive-root-folder-id "" to work around a bug.

So you'll need to copy them all individually but you won't need to oauth for each one.

It should do, it uses the official AWS SDK which supports it.
