DigitalOcean Spaces

Mount a DigitalOcean Space as a Windows drive.

Before you begin

Prepare the following in advance:

• A Spaces Access Key ID and Secret Access Key pair.

Where to get the keys — on the Spaces Keys page of the control panel (API → Spaces Keys):

1. Click Generate New Key.
2. Name the key.
3. Copy both values — the secret is shown only once.
