MATLAB Drive Preferences and Account Information

Preferences

To set preferences for MATLAB^® Connector, open the Connector and in the bottom-left corner of the window, click the Settings button .

Select a tab and adjust the options as described in the following table.

Tab	Preference
General Settings	Select Start MATLAB Connector at system startup to have MATLAB Connector start whenever you restart your computer.
General Settings	Select Help improve MATLAB Connector to send your experience information to MathWorks^®.
MathWorks Account	Your Name and E-mail address. Changing your name and email address is not supported in the MATLAB Connector preferences. To change your name and email address, edit your MathWorks Account profile on mathworks.com.
MATLAB Drive™	Folder Location for MATLAB Drive. This location is specified during the installation of MATLAB Connector and cannot be changed once it is set. These locations are not supported: Folders on a network drive. Read-only or otherwise restricted folders. Folders that are already being synced by another application. If you set the location of your MATLAB Drive folder to a folder that is already being synced, the files in your MATLAB Drive folder might not correctly sync with the files on the cloud.
MATLAB Drive™	Select a Show notifications option to specify what notifications MATLAB Connector should display. Options include: All — Display all notifications in the Windows^® system tray or on the macOS menu bar. For less interruption to your work, notifications are aggregated and shown less often. Recommended — Display notifications for errors and conflicts only. Off — Display no notifications for any sync activity.

Storage Quota

The amount of space you have on MATLAB Drive is limited by the storage quota. Anyone with a MathWorks Account has a 5 GB storage quota. If you have an eligible MATLAB license that is current on Software Maintenance Service, your storage quota increases to 20 GB. For more information, see How much storage do I have in MATLAB Drive?.

For all accounts, when you exceed your storage quota, you cannot perform the following tasks on MATLAB Drive:

Save files
Upload folders and files
Move files or folders
Rename files or folders
Create folders

If you run out of storage space, delete files to create space. Items in Deleted Files do not count toward this quota. If you want to restore an item from Deleted Files, you must have the available storage space.

Deleted Files has its own quota that is equal in size to your MATLAB Drive quota. If your Deleted Files exceeds this quota, the oldest items are deleted automatically to reduce the storage amount. This deletion is permanent.

Note

If your Software Maintenance Service has lapsed and you remain over storage quota for 12 months, MathWorks reserves the right to delete some files. Additionally, if your account has been inactive for 24 months and you are not under Software Maintenance Service, MathWorks reserves the right to delete all your files. MathWorks may also delete files if you are in violation of the SLA or federal or local laws. In any case, the deletion affects only the files stored in MathWorks cloud.

Your account is considered inactive if you have not signed into any MathWorks applications that use MATLAB Drive. These applications include, but are not limited to: MATLAB Online, MATLAB Mobile™, MATLAB Connector, and MATLAB Drive online.
