Mr
How to migrate from AWS EFS to Digital Ocean Spaces? Is there a way to transfer from EFS to DO spaces? Or do I need to transfer to S3 before transferring to Spaces? But tried using DataSync, but having problems with mount and location of EFS

Hi there,
AWS EFS and DigitalOcean Spaces are quite different. EFS is a network file system, while Spaces is an object storage. You can’t transfer directly from EFS to Spaces like you would with S3-to-S3.
What might work here is to mount your EFS volume on an EC2 instance and then copy the files locally or to a temporary directory and then use a tool like the AWS CLI or rclone to upload those files to DigitalOcean Spaces.
If you’re using rclone, it supports both S3 and Spaces out of the box:

Heya, @7526fb4de03a4dfcb6a9e88306cbd9
I’ll also recommend using rclone because it works directly with Spaces, so no S3 middleman needed. You don’t need to rsync over SSH to a droplet and then upload because it’s slower and double work.
