With the introduction of AWS new S3 Files, it would be nice to store original large, user uploaded images to folder mounted to S3 Files to save space (thus price) of EBS volume. While S3 Files mimicks standard file system, this is completely transparent to PHP. After creating thumbnails, these original images are rarely touched, so they can stay on cold storage.
But thumbnails should be on EBS or on-instance SSD volume for speed and latency.
In default setup thumbnails are in “_thumbs” subfolder of each gallery folder within gallery media source. Is there a way to store all original images and all thumbs in two completely separate folders (or media sources)?

Not currently, but I’ll see if we can get support for custom thumb media sources and paths added.
