About using S3 on Google Buckets:
As I mentioned it here:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-object-storage-for-uploads-s3-clones/148916/334
I can confirm that listing works and the automatic backup works using a service account with Storage Legacy Bucket Owner Role on the bucket.
Be aware that Using S3 for Google Bucket implies to only select a Region that has the same name in Amazon than on Google.
I find it silly that you need to choose from a dropdown menu with backend validation (I tried messing with the API without success) instead of typing it.
This implies that you can’t use a bucket in europe for instance as the prefix on Amazon is EU and EUROPE on Google, nor can you use multi-region.

I also find it silly to have to set these options in Files Settings. I didn’t use S3 to upload files, I only use it for the backup. It is required to have a different bucket for uploads and backups but there is only one place to set the region which is in Files Settings.
I hope this saves somebody else time figuring this out.
PS: I debugged it using https://discourse.example.com/logs/
…
Failed to list backups from S3: The specified location constraint is not valid. → Region problem
…
Failed to list backups from S3: Access denied. → Storage Legacy Object Owner instead of Storage Legacy Bucket Owner
