## Which one, for what

### DigitalOcean Spaces (B)

Good for: Teams already on DigitalOcean that want object storage with a CDN and a flat $5 entry price for up to 250 GiB, with free transfer to Droplets in the same region.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 77 against 64

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where OneDrive and SharePoint files (Microsoft Graph) loses 4 points for them

Watch for: The Spaces MCP server has ten tools for access keys and CDN endpoints. None reads, writes, lists or shares an object

### OneDrive and SharePoint files (Microsoft Graph) (B)

Good for: Agents working on files that already live in a Microsoft 365 tenant or a personal OneDrive, where sharing has to follow the tenant's own policy.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 89 against 63
- Agent ergonomics, 84 against 73
- Maintenance & community, 75 against 37

Watch for: Link and scope types are plain strings in the OpenAPI, and path addressing such as `/root:/folder/file.txt:` is absent from it

## Verdicts

**DigitalOcean Spaces.** Per-bucket access keys with read or read-write-delete grants, an 800 operations a second limit per bucket and a 99.9 per cent SLA are all published. The MCP server manages keys and CDN endpoints only, not objects, and the S3 reference documents no error codes. A payment method is required before any bucket is created.

**OneDrive and SharePoint files (Microsoft Graph).** One REST surface covers personal OneDrive, work OneDrive and SharePoint libraries, with resumable uploads, sharing links that take an expiry date and per-file Selected permissions. The status page needs JavaScript, an app must be registered and consented to by a person, and the JavaScript client on npm lacks a token-leak fix merged in June 2026.

## Before you call either

### DigitalOcean Spaces

1. Set the endpoint to `https://<region>.digitaloceanspaces.com` and, in AWS SDKs other than Python's, set `region` to `us-east-1` when creating a bucket
2. Ask for a limited access key with a Read or Read/Write/Delete grant on one bucket. A full access key can create, configure and delete every bucket
3. Do the object work through the S3 API. The MCP server and `doctl` cannot upload, list, move or delete files
4. Retry with exponential backoff on `503 Slow Down`, and keep below 800 operations a second per bucket
5. Fetch presigned links from the origin host, not the CDN. The docs say presigned requests through the CDN are not cached and can double the bandwidth charge
6. Avoid many tiny objects. Each bills as at least 4 KiB on Standard and 128 KiB on Cold Storage, which also has a 30-day minimum

### OneDrive and SharePoint files (Microsoft Graph)

1. Use PUT `/content` only up to 250 MB. Above 10 MiB Microsoft advises `createUploadSession`, with fragments in multiples of 320 KiB and under 60 MiB each
2. Send the bearer token on the `createUploadSession` POST only. The PUT calls to `uploadUrl` can return 401 if an `Authorization` header is included
3. Set `expirationDateTime` and `scope` on `createLink`. Without a scope the tenant's default link type is created, which may be wider than intended
4. Follow the 302 from GET `/content` straight away. Pre-authenticated download URLs can expire within minutes and need no `Authorization` header
5. Wait for `Retry-After` on 429 and 503. Throttled requests still count against the limits, and continued overuse can get the app blocked
