The other issue with Glacier is that you have to keep old versions 
around for (IIRC) 6 months to avoid being charged extra, which can 
really add up for weekly backups or what-have-you.

I'm looking at a switch from AWS to B2 myself. I use Backblaze's desktop 
product on a Windows machine and love it.

Another possibility for sync similar to Google Drive is Jottacloud. 
Haven't tried it myself, but it looks very competitive for personal 
stuff. https://www.jottacloud.com/en/
