How to Resize a Network File Storage Share

Validated on 13 Oct 2025 • Last edited on 20 Oct 2025

Network File Storage is a fully managed, POSIX-compliant file storage solution built for demanding workloads like AI/ML pipelines, containerized applications, and DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) clusters. It provides scalable, high-throughput shared storage that simplifies storage management for distributed applications.

Resize your Network File Storage share to seamlessly increase storage capacity. Increasing storage does not interrupt or affect existing writes and connections.

You can not reduce the size of a share.

When resizing a Network File Storage share via API, you need to set the action type to resize, and specify the share’s region and a new size_gib in GiB. The new size must be greater than the existing size.

curl -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
    -d '{ "type": "resize", "region": "atl1", "params": {"size_gib": 60}}' \
    "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/nfs/<your_share_id>/actions"

Replace <your_share_id> with the ID of your share.

How to Resize a Network File Storage Share Using the DigitalOcean API

Create a personal access token and save it for use with the API.
Send a POST request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/nfs/{nfs_id}/actions.

Using cURL:

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"type": "resize", "params": {"size_gib": 1024}, "region": "atl1"}' \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/nfs/${nfs_id}/actions"

To resize a share from the control panel, click Network File Storage in the main menu.

On the Network File Storage page, find the share you want to resize in the list, then click its … menu, then click Resize.

In the Increase storage size window choose the new, larger size, then click Increase Storage Size. You can not reduce the size of a share.
