Use Google Drive as the object store for a low- to medium-volume app (photos, documents, backups) instead of S3, GCS or Azure Blob. It's free on a personal Google account, or uses the storage your Workspace plan already includes. It speaks the S3 API, so existing @aws-sdk/client-s3 code works by changing endpoint

Could you build this?

Partial A solo builder can vibe-code a basic S3-style HTTP shim over the Google Drive API. Full S3 compatibility (SigV4 auth, multipart uploads, consistency) and Drive quota and rate limits are hard to get right.

What it would actually take: The core is an HTTP server that implements the S3 REST API and translates each call into Google Drive API operations, with object keys mapped to Drive folders and file IDs. The hard parts are correct AWS Signature V4 verification, multipart upload semantics, and listing behavior under Drive's rate limits. Expertise in S3 protocol details and cloud API quirks is needed, though it is not research-level.
