I am very much aware of rclone, but don't see how it solve the problem I mentioned

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re looking for. Rclone has a Google Photos backend and an S3 backend. I haven’t used it but assumed you could simply copy from Google Photos into S3.

"From March 31, 2025 rclone can only download photos it uploaded"

Also, it still requires to use my bandwidth or to have a VPS running and using it's own bandwidth
