Recommendations of in-user-image and local computer tools to work against object storage

[consideRatio]

In this support ticket, @jbusecke asks for help overviewing object storage buckets that they have access to as part of the hub. I think we should:

• Resolve Access to buckets on AWS and GCP from local computers #22 to enables use of tools from user's own computers
• Explore tools to recommend to install in their user images, and document this
• Communicate progress to Julius in https://2i2c.freshdesk.com/a/tickets/387

Quick ping on this here as it is increasingly important to monitor our buckets with more detail.
For context, I have now documented several ways for people to upload data to the LEAP buckets, and the number of datasets is increasing, making manual checking tedious for myself.

I would hope that there is some tool that could give something like a 'weekly change' report, but maybe also alert if certain folders exceed a threshold (I am hoping to supersede my current manual checking of foldersizes in the jupyter hub user storage, e.g. the allusers folder, which has become extremely slow as the number of users increases).
