Why not downsample everything to 10% the size, put those online, and use Amazon Glacier for the originals? (e.g. for exporting)
If you're storing images and videos directly from the phone, they can be downsampled drastically without losing quality on a viewing device that anyone's likely to have.
It's unlikely that anyone wants to download the full size copy, and if they do, they can wait a few hours for Glacier.
You could expose this to the customer, e.g. offer direct access of originals at 2x or 5x the price. But 99.9% of people will be OK with immediate access to quality images/video and eventual access to the unmodified originals.
