Droplet storage expansion

Posted on June 22, 2015

I’m running a small nodeBB forum on my Ubuntu droplet. Currently I’m on the basic 20GB SSD plan. The specs (RAM, etc.) are more than enough for my use, since there will only be around 100 users total, and no more than 20 at a time. The only problem is that I need to host dozens of 200MB-1GB files (videos, images and zips with documents/pdfs mainly). What are my options to get more storage without paying for a higher specced system? I’m open to at least offloading images and videos to some type of free hosting, provided I can keep it private.

Thank you

Hi sierracircle,

Are you able to do a write up for https://www.runabove.com/storage/object-storage.xml? How would we be able to mount a drive to that storage?

Thanks!

If we get a official ability to Mount External Storage…

what would the Storage Service need to be a option… SFTP, WebDav or what do you need a cloud storage provider to have?

Just wondering as AWS/GC is pricy and i have some plans…
