Spaces has folders and files I want to access on a Droplet, which is a LAMP stack on Ubuntu. Ultimately, I want to access those files from within the CMS on Droplet.
I would like to access the Spaces files from within the Apache directory /var/www/html/images. Following these two tutorials (s3fs) and some stack overflow, I got the top level of Spaces mounted, but could not access the files or subfolders.

I’m wondering if I am missing a step in Apache, or there is some other approach.
Thanks

Hello,
What I could suggest is taking a look at the answer here that explains how to use s3fs and mount your Space:

In general, as suggested in the answer, Spaces are not meant to be accessed like a file system. They are API driven and most often used programmatically. Check out this tutorial to learn more about object storage and if it’s right for your use case:
