DigitalOcean Spaces 2026 — S3-Compatible Object Storage + CDN
What is Spaces?
Spaces is the object storage from DigitalOcean for files like images, videos, backups and static website assets. It starts at $5/mo and is S3-compatible, so existing S3 tools and SDKs work with it.
Built-in CDN
Every Space includes a built-in CDN that caches content at edge locations, speeding up delivery to your visitors worldwide — useful for media-heavy sites.
