# Volumes Block Storage API Reference

Volumes are network-attached block storage. You can use them with Droplets or Kubernetes clusters, move or resize them, and create snapshots at any time.

The Volumes Block Storage API endpoints are organized into the following groups:

- [**Block Storage**](block-storage/) (9 endpoints): DigitalOcean Block Storage Volumes provide expanded storage capacity for your Droplets and can be moved between Droplets within a specific region.
- [**Block Storage Actions**](block-storage-actions/) (4 endpoints): Block storage actions are commands that can be given to a DigitalOcean Block Storage Volume. An example would be detaching or attaching a volume from a Droplet. These requests are made on the `/v2/volumes/$VOLUME_ID/actions` endpoint.
