Co-founder of MyPhotos here,

First of all - thanks!

Re: Videos - we currently don't support them but might add that capability in the future. Videos complicate things both in terms of the product and because they're much more expensive to store, so they'll complicate the unit economics.

Regardless - online video storage is currently very expensive. The leading platforms are Vimeo and Wistia, so you might consider them for now.

About editing - what are you looking to do? I'll try to point you in the right direction.

You could get uncloudy and go with a provider with unmetered bandwidth and then use their storage slabs which present as block devices up to 10TB. So you could string together a PV/VG with eight 10TB slabs on a single server.

I’d suspect the storage cost of this approach might even be similar or less than AWS glacier storage..

BuyVM has been around for a long time and very stable and excellent reputation. You’ll find that your costs would be much lower if you’d “uncloud” (I’m obviously assuming that you are using AWS or a cloud, but maybe not!)

Check out Cloudflare Stream and see if their prices might work.
you can also store the videos on plain r2 you just have to do a bit more manual work but its cheaper
Will do! thank you
