Hi there,
Once you attach the volume to your Droplet you would also need to mount it to a specific directory, you can follow the steps on how to do that here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/volumes/how-to/mount/
However note that this will be a separate disk rather than a merge between the two. So what you could do is to create a standard Droplet and then attach a 200GB volume and mount it to a specific directory.
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
