DigitalOcean Spaces¶
Mount a DigitalOcean Space as a Windows drive.
Before you begin¶
You need 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): click Generate New Key, name it, and copy both values — the secret is shown only once.
Help from DigitalOcean
Connect¶
- Click Add in the toolbar.
- Choose Enterprise → DigitalOcean Spaces.
- Enter the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, then click the Refresh button next to the bucket field.
- Select the Space and click Connect.
Settings¶
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Access Key ID / Secret Access Key | Spaces key pair | — |
| Space | The Space to mount (list or manual entry) | — |
| Read-only | Blocks writes to the mounted drive | off |
Behavior & limits¶
- Spaces are discovered across regions
(
<region>.digitaloceanspaces.com— e.g. nyc3, ams3, fra1, sfo3, sgp1, syd1). - S3 semantics: renaming a large folder tree copies and deletes every object under the prefix.
Troubleshooting¶
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Space list empty | Key pair revoked or mistyped | Generate a new Spaces key in the control panel |
| Access Denied | Key restricted from the Space | Check the Space's settings and key scope |
