I am trying to host a web application which there will be expected a lot of videos or images upload or download from the users who visit the site. I have noticed that there are 2 kind of storage in DigitalOcean(Volumes/Spaces) but I am confused which storage am I using for storing the video and image data that the user may upload or download.

Hi there @derek986986,
Flexible and scalable data storage is a baseline requirement for most applications and services being developed with modern techniques and tools. Whether storing large or small amounts of images, videos, or blobs of text, application developers need a solution for the storage and retrieval of user-generated content, logs, backups, and so on.
What I could suggest is going through this tutorial here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/object-storage-vs-block-storage-services
It will give you a really good overview of what the main differences are and which storage would be more suitable for your needs.
