kopia only supports local sources so you have to mount your `gdrive` using rclone and then use kopia to S3.

Something like:

`rclone mount gdrive: /path/to/gdrivemount`

and then

`kopia snapshot create /path/to/gdrivemount`

Is there any other way instead of using rclone . It may consume time for backup. Is there any way to backup file from gdrive to s3 without an intermediate but directly using kopia?
