Hi, is there a way of adding disk space to / or /home?

Hello,
Yes, you can mount your partition on /home, however, I would not go for /.
You can mount your block storage, to a specific directory by following the steps here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/volumes/how-to/mount/
You would just have to change the /mnt/example_mount_point to the directory that you want to use.
Also keep in mind that if you already have files at /home you would have to copy them over from the root partition to the block storage.
Hope that this helps.
Best,
Bobby
