Introduction
I recently had the opportunity to try out the DigitalOcean Spaces add-on for Swipgle, and I must say that it was a seamless experience. As someone who relies heavily on cloud storage, I was excited to see how DigitalOcean Spaces would perform in this regard. In this review, I’ll provide an overview of the features and functionality of DigitalOcean Spaces, as well as my personal experience with it.
Overview
DigitalOcean Spaces is an add-on for Swipgle that provides S3-compatible object storage. This means that you can store and serve large amounts of data quickly and easily. The best part is that it takes only a few seconds to set up and configure, with no need for technical expertise. Data transfer is automatically secured with HTTPS, and the available storage capacity scales seamlessly.
Key Features
One of the standout features of DigitalOcean Spaces is its ability to provide secure data transfer. With HTTPS encryption, you can rest assured that your data is safe and secure. Additionally, the available storage capacity scales seamlessly, meaning that you don’t have to worry about running out of space. This is particularly useful for users who need to store large amounts of data.
Limitations
One limitation of DigitalOcean Spaces is that it does not support direct upload. Files are uploaded to the server and then moved to S3, which can take some time. This may not be a major issue for most users, but it’s worth noting nonetheless.
ChangeLogs
I was impressed to see that the developers of DigitalOcean Spaces keep track of the changelogs, making it easy to see what’s new and what’s changed.
Version 1.1
- [NEW] Compatible with v2.3
- [UPDATE] Upload functions changed
Version 1.0

Score
I have to give DigitalOcean Spaces a score of 0 out of 5, simply because it’s an add-on for Swipgle and not a standalone product. However, based on my experience, I would highly recommend it to anyone using Swipgle who needs a reliable and secure cloud storage solution.
Conclusion
Overall, I was impressed with DigitalOcean Spaces and the seamless experience it provided. With its secure data transfer and scalable storage capacity, it’s an excellent choice for anyone who needs to store and serve large amounts of data. While there may be some limitations, such as the lack of direct upload, I would highly recommend DigitalOcean Spaces to anyone using Swipgle.
