TBH by far the easiest way to migrate
TBH, by far the easiest way to migrate from Drive to R2 is to get a cheap, high-bandwidth VPS for a day, transfer everything with RClone, and then shut it back down. While you might be saving yourself a dollar or two, the amount of work required to do it would probably cost you more

If you do use Google Takeout, remember to disable adding your Google Drive data to the dump. Also, make sure to unzip the dump before you migrate it, unless you want to store them compressed

Though note too, while R2 generally has the best pricing for storage, it is still considered hot storage. So, if you are saving all your data for a rainy day, and expect to “never” need it, I would recommend using something like Backblaze B2, or AWS Glacier

Is your biggest worry with running it locally the storage, or the bandwidth speed?

If you move directly from Drive to B2, it shouldn’t require any storage at all. And if you aren’t under a time crunch, you could just leave it going for a week until it is done?

It should be able to handle them decently, though also, some VPS providers do have a free tier that you could take advantage of?

Yeah, that probably won’t work.
Oracle Cloud has a pretty good “always-free” tier, plus the big three: AWS, GCP, and Azure. They all(I think) require a payment card, but will remain free as long as you stay below the limit

On Bundled Workers, you get 50 ms. of CPU Time. On Unbound, you are guaranteed 30 seconds(may get more, but might not)

Not 100% sure how that lib works, but maybe under the hood it has to do some extra transformations to get it to work?
