Vercel Sandbox now supports drives in private beta. Drives are persistent, attachable storage with a lifecycle independent from any sandbox.

Create a drive once, then mount it at a configurable path when starting a sandbox. When the sandbox stops, the drive remains available to attach to a later sandbox.

Install the beta SDK (@vercel/sandbox@beta) or beta CLI (sandbox@beta), then create and mount a drive:

import { Drive, Sandbox } from "@vercel/sandbox";

const drive = await Drive.getOrCreate({

name: "agent-workspace",

});

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({

mounts: {

"/workspace": {

drive: drive.name,

mode: "read-write",

},

},

});

Sandbox Drives are useful for:

  • Keeping agent workspaces across disposable sandboxes

  • Retaining cloned repositories, dependencies, and build outputs

  • Managing data independently from the sandbox lifecycle

During the private beta, a drive can be mounted read-write by one sandbox at a time. Sandbox drives should not be used for production data while in private beta.
