Should be very easy just by adding new storage provider. Quick google will help you. One of the results for example https://snapshooter.com/blog/using-digitalocean-spaces-for-laravel-object-storage

Working with DigitalOcean Spaces & Laravel
Hey!
Currently the app is uploading photos in the storage folder, which photos are publicly accessible. We want to move to DO Spaces and I'm curious what's the difference in the code. Here's how the app upload photos now
$name = 'review_'. $insert; // $insert is the actual review ID
$format = "webp";
$media = Image::make($request->media)->encode('webp', 90)
Storage::disk('reviews_media')->put($name . '.' . $format, $media, 'public')
Will the code be completely different with DO Space? What to actually store as a media_path value? A link to the image in the DO space domain or what? I'm afraid I won't be able to make this work. Please, give me some tips.

@krekas And what do I store in the table's column where I typically store storage/review_14.webp? Do I store https://SPACES_NAME.COUNTRY.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/review_14.webp? So when I include this specific image I do
<img src="{{ $review->media_path }}" />

@Laralex sorry I don't know how it works exactly. Just googled for you. You will have to try it yourself

As @krekas says, you should just add a new disk to your config. Spaces is S3 compatible, so setting the driver to S3 should suffice. There might be some pitfalls I am unaware of, but you can just try it out before putting it into production.
Here's another article for Laravel 8, should apply to Laravel 9 as well.

And what about connecting through FTP to the DO Space? I can't make it work.. I'm connecting but either no files are displaying or I get some errors when trying to open a folder. I tried through FIleZilla (then I realized only FileZilla PRO can connect to s3), WinSCP (I see no folders), CyberDuck (I see 2 folders which aren't with the names that they should be). What to do?
