Overview

DigitalOcean storage includes S3-compatible object storage, network-attached block storage, managed NFS, plus snapshots and backups for recovery workflows.

Spaces Object Storage

Use Spaces for large datasets, static assets, and logs.

  • Create a Space in the required region.
  • Generate access keys for S3-compatible tooling.
  • Configure access controls for public or private objects.

Volumes Block Storage

Use Volumes to add persistent block storage to Droplets.

  • Create a Volume in the same region as the Droplet.
  • Attach the Volume to a Droplet.
  • Mount the Volume on the Droplet OS.

NFS File Storage

Use managed NFS for shared file access across services.

  • Provision an NFS file system.
  • Mount from compute resources that require shared storage.

Snapshots

Use snapshots for on-demand backups of Droplets or Volumes.

  • Create snapshots before major changes.
  • Use snapshots to create new Droplets or Volumes.

Backups

Use scheduled backups for routine recovery points.

  • Enable backups on Droplets.
  • Restore from backups during recovery.

Storage Selection Guide

  • Use Spaces for object storage and static assets.
  • Use Volumes for persistent block storage on Droplets.
  • Use NFS for shared POSIX file storage.
  • Use Snapshots for point-in-time recovery.
  • Use Backups for scheduled system-level protection.

Complementary Skills

When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):

  • digitalocean-compute: Droplets and App Platform storage attachment.
  • digitalocean-containers-images: Image and registry workflows.
  • digitalocean-managed-databases: Data backups and migration planning.

Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.
