Transferring the empty directories also, from google drive to AWS S3 bucket using put_object method supported by S3

rclone does not support empty directories on S3.
often requested feature and much discussed in the forum.

https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4423

is this a one time transfer or something to be done on a schedule?

you could write a script that:

  1. for each empty dirs on gdrive, copy a file to it.
  2. rclone copy
  3. delete those files from aws
