Space (bucket)high

Naming differs: users create a “Space” that is a bucket, and each bucket has a unique URL (virtual-hosted or path style), whereas Swift uses containers within an account namespace. ().
Bucket addressing uses S3-style endpoints such as `${BUCKET}.${REGION}.digitaloceanspaces.com` (and `${REGION}.digitaloceanspaces.com/${BUCKET}`), which differs from Swift’s account/container/object path conventions. (, ).
Access keys can be scoped to high-level permission tiers (Read, Read/Write/Delete, All) applied across buckets/objects, which differs from Swift’s typical tenant/user + container ACL model. ().

S3 API (PUT Bucket requires specific headers like x-amz-acl limited to private/public-read, LocationConstraint); Swift uses POST/PUT Container with broader ACLs via X-Container-Read/Write.
Public access via https://bucket.location.your-objectstorage.com/object; Swift public via temp URLs or ACLs.
Up to 100 buckets per account; Swift has no hard limit.
