# How do I connect DigitalOcean Spaces?

Choose **Bucket Storage** in Add Account and pick **DigitalOcean Spaces** as the provider. Enter your Spaces access key and secret, the region your Space is in (such as `nyc3`), the Space's name as the **Bucket**, and the endpoint for that region — it follows the pattern shown in the field's placeholder.

Create the access key in the DigitalOcean control panel's API section; the secret is shown only once. Then save and click **Test connection**.
