Before you start syncing files to S3, you need to setup con job on your server:

Please Go to Admin dashboard –> System Admin –> Tasks to get the command line that you need to setup cronjob (see screenshot). You can setup cron via cpanel or ssh. Contact your hosting if you don’t know how to do that. Normally, the command line will be “wget -qO- ‘https://domain.com/cron/task/run?key=3FSE@’ &> /dev/null . Send this command line to your hosting if you want to ask them to help you.
