Thx for you answer. The problem with this solution is that I must work on the files before uploading them elsewhere. For instance some of them must be uncompressed. I only use S3 for the final upload when the file is ready but still need some local storage capacity while working on the files.

# Update volume size dynamically from inside a POD

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-02-25)

I was wondering how I could dynamically **create and then mount new volumes from inside a pod ?** **At runtime !**

I have to download a lot of files with very different sizes and would like the storage to adapt to my needs...

Any ideas are welcome
