DigitalOcean Spaces
S3-compatible storage with built-in CDN; $5/month subscription includes 250 GiB storage and 1 TiB outbound transfer.
Small projects that fit inside the $5 bundle pay a flat fee, and transfer to Droplets in the same region is free, which suits apps already hosted on DigitalOcean. Beyond the bundle, storage costs $0.02 per GiB-month, well above Backblaze B2 or Hetzner, while extra transfer is a modest $0.01 per GiB. No request fees are listed, cold storage is $0.007 per GiB-month, and the Amsterdam and Frankfurt datacentres cover EU residency.
