Use a snapshot created from a higher-tier droplet for a lower-tier droplet?

Posted on June 7, 2015

I had to use the 4 GB Droplet to compile and set up the configuration I wanted.

However when I finished and then poweroff’d my droplet and snapshotted, when I went to create a lower tier droplet I found out I couldn’t use the snapshot I created.

I know all the changes I’ve made hadn’t used much space.

How do I use the snapshot I spent a long time on creating with the droplet size I want?
