DigitalOcean Spaces Support
Upload, transform, optimize, and serve files from any DigitalOcean Space with Bytescale.
Own and manage the DigitalOcean Space your files are stored in.
No storage charge for files stored in DigitalOcean Spaces. *
*
You’ll still be charged the full price of your Bytescale Plan, which includes built-in storage and an upload request quota. Storage in your bucket can grow without limit and won’t incur extra charges from Bytescale. Uploads to external buckets using the Bytescale API count toward your upload request quota. Data transferred from Bytescale to external buckets counts as egress traffic. Enterprise Plans may use different bandwidth rates for egress to external storage vs. CDN delivery—please contact support for details.
Please note the following when using DigitalOcean Spaces:
Storage usage for DigitalOcean Spaces is not reported in the Bytescale Dashboard.
Requests to transform files from DigitalOcean Spaces may incur additional latency due to internal download operations:
Video and audio transformations incur ~1 second of extra latency per 75MB of input file size when using DigitalOcean Spaces.*
Image transformations incur no extra latency: the performance is the same as using Bytescale's Built-in Storage.
*
Applies to the first request only: once the result is cached all subsequent requests to the same URL will return near-instantly.
To use your own DigitalOcean Space for read/write storage in your Bytescale account:
Create a DigitalOcean Space (if you haven't already).
Create a DigitalOcean Spaces access key + secret access key pair.
Create a folder in the Bytescale Dashboard.
Edit the folder's settings.
Click on "Storage Settings".
Change "Storage Type" to "DigitalOcean Spaces".
