[Vercel Sandbox](https://vercel.com/docs/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](https://vercel.com/docs/sandbox/sdk-reference) (`@vercel/sandbox@beta`) or beta [CLI](https://vercel.com/docs/sandbox/cli-reference) (`sandbox@beta`), then create and mount a drive:

```typescript
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.
