Hi there,

I could suggest using the s3cmd command line tool. You can find more information on how to do that here:

@bobbyiliev I was doing some research and I found the rclone

https://rclone.org/s3/#digitalocean-spaces

do you have any opinion about it ?

I would recommend using rclone or s3fs as already mentioned. In theory rclone should do the job faster but it is up to you which tool to use.
