Vercel Launches Vercel Drives for Persistent Storage in Vercel Sandbox

Vercel has introduced Vercel Drives, a persistent storage solution for Vercel Sandbox that allows agents to maintain file state across different execution environments. The feature is generally available with storage capacities ranging from 1 GiB on Hobby plans to 1 TiB on other plans, with support for up to 16 TiB.

Verified State Diff

Comparison Mode:

- Previous State

Vercel Sandbox environments were ephemeral, requiring agents to re-transfer or rebuild workspace files when switching environments or runtimes.

+ Verified New State

Agents can use Vercel Drives to persist files across sandboxes, with 1 GiB storage on Hobby plans, 1 TiB default on other plans, and a maximum capacity of 16 TiB.

Impact & Verification Analysis

WHO IS AFFECTED

Developers building AI agents and automated workflows using Vercel Sandbox.

WHY IT MATTERS

This removes the overhead of re-initializing agent environments and enables complex, multi-step agent workflows that require persistent state and data sharing between isolated execution contexts.

Full Fact Overview

Vercel Drives enables decoupling of agent files from specific sandbox execution environments. By mounting a drive, agents can persist data across different runtimes or tasks, share read-only datasets between multiple agents, and fork drives to explore parallel workflows. The feature supports mounting via the Vercel CLI or Sandbox SDK, allowing specific directories like /workspace to persist state independently of the ephemeral sandbox lifecycle.
