Add DigitalOcean Spaces Account

Add a DigitalOcean Spaces storage account to PlaidCloud for importing and exporting data files using DigitalOcean's S3-compatible object storage.

DigitalOcean Spaces Setup

These steps need to be completed within the DigitalOcean control panel.

  1. Sign in to the DigitalOcean Control Panel
  2. Navigate to Spaces Object Storage in the left sidebar
  3. Create a Space if one does not already exist. Note the Space name and region (e.g. nyc3).
  4. Navigate to API > Spaces Keys (under the Tokens section)
  5. Select Generate New Key
  6. Give the key a name
  7. Copy the Key (Access Key) and Secret. Save both for the PlaidCloud Document setup below. The secret is only shown once.
  8. Note the endpoint URL for your Space's region. It follows the pattern https://{region}.digitaloceanspaces.com (e.g. https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com)
