>S3's pricing is absolutely ridiculous by comparison, but they have the reliability argument on their side...
Well, unless your S3 buckets are in us-east-1. For some reason Amazon keeps having issues with S3 in that region.
Since the storage costs appear to be the same between Spaces and S3 ($0.02/GB/month) and neither charge for inbound transfer, I'm assuming your problem is with the outbound transfer pricing (S3 charges 9x what DO charges) and/or the per-request pricing. GCP's Regional Cloud Storage has the same storage pricing, even higher outbound transfer pricing, and the same request pricing. I haven't looked at any other providers, but if you want reliability, you're going to have to pay for it.

Their us-east-1 region is notorious for being the region with the least reliability. Unless there's a good reason not to I always recommend people default to us-west-2.
