Answer 1

Yes, this is a manageable issue, do the following:

Store files using S3 and use an SDk for Java:

Refer this:  com.amazonaws.services.s3 putObject Interface AmazonS3.

You should be able to plug the code that is used for for file saving. This should be achieveable ie: One implementation for saving the file to the local disk and another for storing it in S3. And also your startup code 

Answer 2

In an Elastic Beanstalk environment, you can use Amazon EFS to create a shared directory that stores files uploaded or modified by users of your application. Your application can treat a mounted Amazon EFS volume like local storage, so you don't have to change your application code to scale up to multiple instances.

For more information about Amazon EFS, see the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide.

Answer 3

yes once you store it in (AWS) S3 bucket, get the credential details of it and create a credentials file

Much easier! :)
