Agent Drive is a distributed cloud filesystem for AI agents. Mount it into any sandbox for concurrent, POSIX-compliant access — no capacity planning, no orchestration.

One filesystem. Every sandbox. Every agent.

Agent Drive is a modern, distributed filesystem that lets your AI agents collaborate by sharing data and session context across sandboxes in real-time.

A shared filesystem for AI agents

Agent Drive behaves like a shared cloud filesystem mounted directly into your sandbox's file tree. Unlike volumes, drives support concurrent access from multiple sandboxes with no capacity planning.

Share files across sandboxes in real-time

Concurrent read-write access from multiple sandboxes simultaneously, so a fleet of agents can work off the exact same files at once.

Works like any filesystem

A POSIX-compliant FUSE client makes it behave just like another path in the local filesystem.

Bottomless, elastic storage

Drives grow automatically with no fixed capacity limits. No pre-provisioning required.

A real filesystem, not an object store in a costume

S3 was never designed for POSIX operations, nor for trillions of agents. We built Agent Drive differently.

Small-file optimized

Tuned for the access patterns agents actually produce: many small reads and writes, very high concurrency.

Custom FUSE client

An optimized POSIX-compliant FUSE client in every sandbox, built in-house for agentics.

5-10x faster

Beta users running both approaches report dramatic performance gains on Agent Drive for small-file I/O.

Purpose-built for agents

Agent Drive removes the need for duplication or orchestration when agents need to share context, datasets or dependencies.

Handoff of small files

Agents produce lots of small files: notes, JSON artifacts, tool outputs. Agent Drive is tuned for exactly this access pattern: many small files, high concurrency, no serialization in between.

Handoff of small files

Agents produce lots of small files: notes, JSON artifacts, tool outputs. Agent Drive is tuned for exactly this access pattern: many small files, high concurrency, no serialization in between.

Shared memory

Keep long-term agent context, conversation history, and accumulated knowledge across sessions. New sandboxes mount and pick up where previous ones left off.

Dependencies for codegen

Put code dependencies on a drive. Every sandbox that mounts it gets instant access without re-downloading.

Parallel agents

Fan out work, collect results on a shared drive. Run dozens of sandboxes in parallel, each writing to the same place. A coordinator agent reads aggregated results when workers finish.
