Storage Quota

The amount of space you have on MATLAB Drive is limited by the storage quota. Anyone with a bat365 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, bat365 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, bat365 reserves the right to delete all your files. bat365 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 bat365 cloud.

Your account is considered inactive if you have not signed into any bat365 applications that use MATLAB Drive. These applications include, but are not limited to: MATLAB Online, MATLAB Mobile™, MATLAB Drive Connector, and MATLAB Drive online.
