Removing a shared folder in MATLAB Online

Once another user has shared a folder with me in MATLAB Online, is there a way for me to remove that folder from my Shared (with me) view, or does the owner of the folder have to un-share it? I am experimenting with students submitting assignments through shared folders, but I want to be able to remove them at the end of the course.

It is not currently possible for you to remove a folder that has been shared with you. The person who shared it has to unshare it.

That being said, this is a new product that is constantly being updated. New functionality is constantly being added so I'd keep checking back every few months.

I'm not sure what type of assignments your students would be turning in, but have you considered using MATLAB Grader? It allows you to create MATLAB Programming assignments that students can code their answers to online. You can include assessments to automatically grader their submissions and provide real-time feedback on their results.

Yes, I am planning to use MATLAB Grader for some assignments. MATLAB Online would be for assignments that involve GUIs or other interactive features that cannot be graded automatically.

Thought I'd follow up. Today an update was released for MATLAB Drive. It has some new features that you may be interested in. Read about them here.
