The transition from Tech Preview to version 1.0 occurred on April 13th. There are several changes to MATLAB Drive associated with that transition:
Storage Quota
MATLAB Drive continues to be available to anyone with a MathWorks Account. To continue using 5 GB of storage, your MathWorks Account must be associated to a MATLAB license* current on Software Maintenance Service; otherwise, your storage quota will be 250 MB. Use the License Center if you need to associate an existing license.
If you reach or are above your storage quota, you won’t be able to create or edit files. To restore the ability to create and edit, you must first delete files.
Installation
You no longer need MATLAB to install MATLAB Connector. Go to the MATLAB Drive page to install MATLAB Connector v1.0.
Compatibility with MATLAB
MATLAB R2017a or later integrates with MATLAB Connector. There is a MATLAB Drive button next to the address bar and a Current Folder browser right-click menu option. You need MATLAB Connector v1.0 or later to enable these features. MATLAB Connector will sync your files and provide notifications irrespective of MATLAB being installed on your computer.
