Vercel Drives 推出：為 Agent 提供持久儲存

Agents often handle complex work that continues across runs. As that work evolves, they may need a new environment with different tools, runtimes, or compute. They should be able to continue working with the same files when they change environments.

We built Vercel Drives to keep an agent’s files independent of its execution environment. It is now generally available for Vercel Sandbox. Agents can mount the same drive in a new environment configured for the next task and continue where they left off.

Persisting state with a drive

Create a drive once, then mount it when you create a sandbox. From the CLI:

Or from the Sandbox SDK:

In this example, everything under /workspace persists on the drive. Everything else belongs to the sandbox. The next sandbox that mounts the drive finds the repository, and anything else the agent wrote there, where the previous run left it.

The drive keeps the agent’s files independent of the sandbox running it. An agent can resume work in a new sandbox or switch runtimes without transferring its workspace. Other sandboxes can mount the same drive.

Sharing state across sandboxes

Agents can prepare files on a drive once and reuse them across sandboxes. If one agent builds a dataset on a drive, other agents can mount read-only copies to analyze the data or generate reports without rebuilding the dataset. They use the shared files as input and save their results separately.

Agents can also fork a drive to explore different approaches independently. Each fork starts with the drive’s contents and provides its own writable workspace. Agents can try different transformations of the dataset in parallel without changing the original or affecting one another. Forks don’t merge back into the original drive.

Forking is generally available.

Get started

Vercel Drives is now generally available for Vercel Sandbox on all plans.

Drives default to 1 TiB, or 1 GiB on Hobby, with up to 16 TiB available. See the documentation for configuration, snapshots, and limits, or the changelog for what changed at GA.
