I’m new to Digital Ocean and I’m looking to use Spaces to store images for my app. I’m not using AWS, so I want to know if it’s possible to use Digital Ocean Spaces without using AWS S3? If so, how do I upload/fetch from my Spaces?

Hello @developersray
As mentioned by Bobby you can use s3cmd, CyberDuck and other tools with your Space product.
I also want to leave this mini-tutorial on s3cmd here:

Hi there,
Yes, you can use Spaces without having an AWS account, it is a totally separate product.
Spaces is an S3-compatible object storage so you can use any tool that you would use with AWS S3. For example here is a document that shows you how to use
s3cmd:https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/reference/s3cmd/
Depending on your needs you could use Cyberduck or an S3 SDK as described here:

Hope that this helps!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Bobby
