help DigitalOcean Spaces Object Storage FAQ
Is DigitalOcean Spaces compatible with Amazon S3 tools?
Yes, Spaces provides an S3-compatible object-storage API, so applications can commonly use S3 SDKs and command-line tools after changing the endpoint and credentials. It stores objects in buckets rather than presenting a traditional mounted block-storage drive.
Can DigitalOcean Spaces serve images and videos to a website?
Yes, a Space can store public or private media objects and deliver them through DigitalOcean's built-in CDN. A typical use case is serving images, videos, backups, or static application assets without placing those files on a Droplet's local disk.
How is Spaces different from a DigitalOcean Volume?
Spaces is object storage accessed through HTTP APIs, while a Volume is block storage attached to a Droplet like an additional disk. Spaces is better suited to files and media shared through an application, whereas a Volume is used for a server's filesystem and database workloads.
