Is it possible to use Spaces Object Storage from DigitalOcean instead of AWS S3?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There's a doc regarding using S3 for storing media. Since Spaces Object Storage is reportedly S3-compatible, is it possible to use it instead?

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to use the DO service instead of S3.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
Not necessarily a feature request. Perhaps it's just a matter of modifying the docs.

docs/configuring-playbook-s3.md talks about other providers and even mentions Digital Ocean Spaces, even though it doesn't provide docs specific to it (it's pretty much the same for every provider).

docs/configuring-playbook-synapse-s3-storage-provider.md:

• also mentions "or other S3-compatible service"
• has a Copying data to an S3 alternative using the aws-s3 tool section
• has a Copying data to Backblaze B2 section, which should be a good indicator that time has been spent to deal accommodate users of at least one AWS S3 alternative (proof that AWS S3 is not the only choice).

---

So.. the docs are mentioning AWS S3 alternatives and trying to point you in the right direction.

If you'd like a Digital Ocean Spaces-specific section added somewhere, please open a PR!

If you believe "S3 alternatives are also supported" should be mentioned somewhere else, let us know where or please open a PR!

Thank you for this answer, I will try to set this up, and if I succeed I'll try to write a doc.
