Interesting comparison price when something like Sia is so cheap per TB (4 dollars). Will be interesting to see how it developers.
I think $20/TB*month is exactly what GCP charges, and is probably on par with what Amazon charges.

All I need to do is reverse parameters.
Documentation states:
s3cmd sync LOCAL_DIR s3://BUCKET[/PREFIX] or s3://BUCKET[/PREFIX] LOCAL_DIR

If the author is reading: please take the time to update your example, including proper error checking (at least "set -eu"), otherwise the people on the internet that are going to copy your script are in for a hard time.
Skeleton of the "incriminated" script:
#!/bin/bash
[...]
s3cmd sync ...
[...]
notify-send [...] "Vault sync succeded [...]"
