Glacier is pretty well integrated into S3 now.

I would probably suggest S3 infrequent access tier. It’s a little more expensive than glacier but quicker restore times. I figure if I need access to these photos I can wait an hour or whatever.

If you can’t decide, AWS has Intelligent tier now which will decide which storage type is appropriate based on your usage.

I store about 200gb of photos up in S3 and it’s roughly $.49/month

that's a terrific deal. I am assuming that's glacier tho, because seems like the even the infrequent s3 would be around 2.5

From AWS (this is assuming no transfer): 200 S3 IA Storage x 0.0125 USD = 2.50 USD (S3 IA storage cost) S3 Standard - Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) cost (monthly): 2.50 USD
