Greetings all, when using the API to resize a droplet, how can you specify the hard drive size you want? I do see in the documentation that you set disk to true, but don’t see you can specify the size of the disk. To give my scenario, we have some droplets still on the old standards of 512mb of memory and 20GB hard drives. If i set the slug size to s-1vcpu-1gb and disk to true, the memory is upgraded from the old basic standard of 512 but the hard drive remains at 20GB. Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
The hard drive size can’t be explicitly specified but you will gain 5Gb of disk space by moving to the new $5 plan. Should you not see the additional disk space after the API call completes it’s because the partition/filesystem of your Droplet hasn’t been resized, we have instructions on this here.
If you have any questions or need clarification on anything, just write back in and let me know.
