    You can use the aws cli s3 sync command to copy (‘synchronize’) files from an Amazon S3 bucket to a local drive.

    To have it update frequently, you could schedule it as a Windows Scheduled Tasks. Please note that it will be making frequent calls to AWS, which will incur API charges ($0.005 per 1000 requests).

    Alternatively, you could use utilities that ‘mount’ an Amazon S3 bucket as a drive (Tntdrive, Cloudberry, Mountain Duck, etc). I’m not sure how they detect changes — they possibly create a ‘virtual drive’ where the data is not actually downloaded until it is accessed.

    You can use rclone and Winfsp to mount S3 as a drive.
    Though this might not be a ‘mount’ in traditional terms.

    You will need to setup a task scheduler for a continuous sync.
