Drives for Vercel Sandbox in Private Beta

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:

1
import { Drive, Sandbox } from "@vercel/sandbox";
2
const drive = await Drive.getOrCreate({
3
  name: "agent-workspace",
4
});
5
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
6
  mounts: {
7
    "/workspace": {
8
      drive: drive.name,
9
      mode: "read-write",
10
    },
11
  },
12
});

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.
