Last I checked, DigitalOcean has a "Spaces" feature for file storage, which is compatible with the AWS S3 API (and they even suggest using the AWS client library). I always found it odd that we can easily port apps, databases, etc., from one cloud to another, but for file storage/CDN it's always some proprietary solution like S3. AFAIK open source solutions never really took off.
