S3 (and similar storages) have caused plenty of security issues in several occasions (usually because of misconfigured buckets, making all contents available to the public). Given this, it would be expected that companies would pay a bit more attention to the security of these data storage methods.

However, in Digital Ocean, by design, you can't restrict keys to certain buckets. Once you issue a key, it can access all buckets within your project, with all operations (list, read, delete) files.

The issue has been reported and is known for a long time. It's even the top voted "idea" in the company portal.

Posting this here in hopes to bring awareness of this issue.
