Users can create a drive once and mount it at a configurable path across multiple sandbox sessions, with data remaining available after the sandbox stops. The feature enables retaining agent workspaces, cloned repositories, and build outputs across disposable sandboxes, though drives are limited to read-write access by one sandbox at a time during the beta period.", "body_md": "[Vercel Sandbox](https://vercel.com/docs/sandbox) now supports drives in private beta.
