Django in digitalocean

With django running on digital ocean, how could i download a file that is on amazon web services and then manipulated. Is there a / temp folder or something, which frees that access for manipulation?

The standard directory for temporary files on Unix-based systems is /tmp. From man hier:

/tmp This directory contains temporary files which may be deleted with no notice, such as by a regular job or at system boot up.

Your Django app can freely read and write files to the /tmp directory. However, I highly recommend using Python's builtin tempfile module to take care of the details for you.
