Upgrade drop memory and disk

On the droplet resize page there are two types of resizing available.

The default option allows you to quickly scale your RAM and CPU but not your disk. This type of resize can be rolled back later if needed.

The other option also resizes your droplet’s disk. Because shrinking disk partitions can result in data loss, this type of resize cannot be undone.

To get your 50GB disk space, return to the resize page, select the other type of resize and your 2GB/50GB plan and your disk will be scaled up.

Heya,

At the moment there is no straightforward way to upgrade only your Disk without upgrading anything else. There are only two official ways :

CPU and RAM only. This option lets you increase or decrease the amount of CPU and RAM available to a Droplet.

Disk, CPU, and RAM. This option increases the amount of CPU and RAM available to a Droplet and permanently increases the size of a Droplet’s disk.

Having said that, you can create a snapshot of your current droplet and then spin up a new droplet with the necessary size.

To migrate a Droplet using snapshots, you should:

• Create a snapshot of a Droplet.
• Optionally, move the snapshot to a new region if you want to migrate your Droplet to a new region or transfer the snapshot to a new account if you want to migrate your Droplet to a new account.
• Create a new Droplet from the snapshot in the desired region or from the desired account.

Lastly, you can try using Volumes. Block storage volumes are network-based block devices that provide additional data storage for Droplets. You can move them between Droplets and resize them at any time.
