Add Files to MATLAB Drive

You can add files to your MATLAB® Drive™ as you would add files to any other folder. In addition, you can upload images and videos from mobile devices with the Share button through the device OS or any mobile application that supports uploading images and videos.

When using bat365® products:

  • You can add files created or updated while you are working in MATLAB by setting the Current Folder browser to your MATLAB Drive.

  • You can add files created or updated while you are working in MATLAB Online™ or MATLAB Mobile™ to your MATLAB Drive.

If you have MATLAB Drive Connector installed, files on your local MATLAB Drive and MATLAB Drive online are automatically synced when the Connector is running. The Connector displays the files that have been synced under Activity. Updates of files greater than 250 MB can take longer to update.

If you do not have the MATLAB Drive Connector installed, you can add folders and files to your MATLAB Drive using MATLAB Drive online with the Upload button (select Files or Folder) or by dragging and dropping folders and files from the operating system file browser. For either method, empty folders are not uploaded.

Note

  • File sync requires an internet connection.

  • Using source control tools with your local MATLAB Drive folder is not recommended and can cause unexpected behavior.
