Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a way to set up the file downloads to be hosted elsewhere rather than through the server?

For example, if a user wants to sell photography presets, can we host the files on Amazon cloud and have the download be delivered from there rather than directly through our server?

I think there is a way. You can set up a new storage settings an use this as storage for download files.

Yes, absolutely it can.  

IPS supports Amazon Web Services (AWS) for storage and delivery.  Keep in mind that you will incur incidental costs for storage, bandwidth, and potentially CDN delivery.
