Amazon S3 has the least friction by far, most resiliency and security, and gives you options down the road should you need to extend your service copy functionality, make your assets portable, or migrate to a repository implementation. Steps include creating an S3 bucket on AWS, set up a secure FTP connection to move files to the bucket, and configure/harden permissions properly. Just make sure you 1) have some sense of the volume of files (measured in multipes of bytes) beforehand as it is a metered service and 2) exert some control over which parties in your organization have access to the bucket. This has come up enough on the forum to warrant unofficial high-level documentation for non-techinical administrators. If there's demand, I can pull something together.
