You need to ingest small files from an on-premises server to Cloud Storage once daily. Which tool is most cost-effective and simple for this?

Trap 1: Cloud Pub/Sub

Pub/Sub is for messaging, not file synchronization.

Trap 2: Dataflow

Dataflow is overkill and expensive for simple file synchronization.

Trap 3: Storage Transfer Service

This is better for large-scale datasets, not small daily transfers.
