Drives for Vercel Sandbox are now in public beta

Read on vercel.com

Summary

Vercel launched Drives for Sandbox in public beta, offering persistent, mountable storage that can be reused across sandbox runs. Drives support one read‑write mount and snapshot‑based read‑only sharing, with size limits and per‑GB pricing.

  • Drives give persistent, mountable storage for Vercel Sandbox that survives sandbox termination.
  • Only one read‑write mount is allowed; use `workspace.snapshot()` to create read‑only snapshots for concurrent sandboxes.
  • A sandbox can mount up to four Drives; default size is 1 TiB (1 GiB on Hobby) and can be increased to 16 TiB.
  • Pricing is $0.05/GB‑month storage, $0.0015/GB reads, $0.004/GB writes (region‑specific); Hobby includes 15 GB storage and 30 GB read/write quotas.

Vercel Sandbox users who need persistent, shareable storage across runs should know about Drives.
