Stop Worrying About AI Agents Deleting Your Files

#agents #ai #security

Every AI coding agent has that moment. It runs a command. It deletes the wrong folder. You realize what happened. Its too late.

The fix takes 5 minutes

Map the agents workspace to a dedicated drive letter.

Local folder: subst.scsoi.com
WebDAV/cloud: drive.scsoi.com

The agent sees a normal drive. It can write all day there. It cannot see anything outside that drive.

Why this is better than nothing

OS-level, not app-level
Works with every tool
No container runtime
One-time purchase, no subscription

You already trust Windows drive permissions. Use them.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
