Can I attach a volume to multiple Droplets?

You can only attach a volume to one Droplet at a time. This is because Droplets recognize volumes and block storage as locally-attached drives.

As a workaround, you can mount a remote directory on a Droplet with the volume attached. We recommend using SSHFS or NFS.
