Storage Quota

The amount of space you have on MATLAB Drive is limited by the storage quota. The quota size depends on whether you have an eligible MATLAB license that is current on Software Maintenance Service. Customers with a MathWorks Account and no eligible license are afforded only a moderate amount of storage.

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 Drive Connector, and MATLAB Drive online.
