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
