Hmm; one interesting bit is WorkSpaces Sync - https://sync.amazonworkspaces.com/

At first glance it looks something like Dropbox with S3 as the storage backend. They suggest it being used to keep files in sync between a standard PC and a WorkSpace. I wonder if it can be used without the WorkSpace?

Yes, the AWS s3 cli [1] has a --sync option that does that.

Edit: Actually this isn't the dropbox functionality. For that you'd have to wrap it in an inotify loop:

"while true; do inotifywait -r -e modify . && aws s3 sync <local> <s3 bucket>; done"
