    "incantation": "For a transfer job sourced from Amazon S3, set `--include-storage-classes` to the classes to transfer; use `gcloud transfer jobs update <job-name> --clear-include-storage-classes` to remove the filter.",

      "gcloud transfer jobs create s3://<source-bucket> gs://<destination-bucket> --include-storage-classes=STANDARD,GLACIER",

    "gotchas": [
      "SOURCE (required): Source location; use `s3://<bucket>` for an Amazon S3 source.",
      "DESTINATION (required): Destination location; Google Cloud Storage uses `gs://<bucket>`.",
      "NAME (required): Name of the transfer job to update.",
      "--include-storage-classes: Comma-separated Amazon S3 storage classes to include; objects in other classes are skipped. Example values: `STANDARD,GLACIER`.",
      "--clear-include-storage-classes: Removes the storage class filter from the object conditions.",
      "Prerequisite: Storage class filtering applies to transfers from Amazon S3. Valid values are Amazon S3 storage class names.",
      "Prerequisite: Restore S3 Glacier Deep Archive (`DEEP_ARCHIVE`) and Glacier Flexible Retrieval (`GLACIER`) objects before transferring them.",
      "Docs conflict: The Google filtering guide, last updated 2026-09-30, says storage class filtering is not supported in gcloud CLI. This conflicts with the release note and current gcloud create/update references, which document the flags; the conflicting guide statement is not used."
