[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:

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.
