In my case, I need to share locally written files between services, and i can't do that with S3 storage.

sometimes you need to iterate over files and they have to be local for that not via api. so you need some playground space to do some of the engineering work. it's inconceivable for me someone engineered this without Mounting abilities
reminds me of amazon fargate 10 years ago.

this is Mandatory and basic. have i know this is not possible would not have used DigitalOcean, I'm now stuck until this feature is ready. or i will leave digital ocean soon

Yes, for us too - if either Spaces or Block Storage could be mounted onto App Platform apps this would be a huge step forward for the platform.

Would consider moving a lot more of my stacks over to DO if I could attach volumes to my App Platform apps like you do with Docker containers - where you can have a persisted volume throughout.

Running apps such as STRAPI CMS requires a persistent database.
Paying $15/month for 10GB Managed Database Service when database is less than 10MB seems wasteful, and drives search for alternatives.
A 500MB attached SSD or Managed Database Service for modest price would solve the problem.

App platform is a managed service, please note down my future request- "add a option to attach block storage volume with all connected app platform".
