Asked by Michael Campbell
The costs of my current nextcloud instance with block storage have become unreasonable as it has grown so I am looking to migrate my nextcloud to DO with S3 based storage.
Looking through the DO Marketplace I am able to create an AIO droplet and add additional block storage, but nowhere do I see the option of adding a cheaper object storage bucket.
Yes I understand the performance hit - this is mainly for photo / document storage and sharing so I do not need a NVMe IOPS.

Heya, @michaelcampbellseal
You can migrate your Nextcloud instance to DigitalOcean Spaces for cost savings while keeping your primary Nextcloud instance on a Droplet.
When the Space storage is created you’ll need to adjust the NextCloud main storage point to the be Space storage. If you need help with that, just let me know.
If your Nextcloud instance is growing fast, using Spaces is much cheaper than expanding block storage.
Hope that this helps!
