MATLAB Drive Connector can be installed through the add-on manager or by visiting the product page.

1. Go to <http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab-drive MATLAB Drive product page>
2. Click link to download installer for your platform
3. Run installer

It is necessary to start MATLAB Drive Connector manually.

Execute ~/bin/MATLABConnector start in terminal window

 

Execute ~/bin/MATLABConnector toggle in terminal window

To install on Linux, open an terminal window and go to the folder where you have downloaded the connector.

Then add execution permission using, for example:

$ sudo chmod +x matlabconnector_1.6.1.2_glnxa64_installer.bin

then run the binary file:

$ ./matlabconnector_1.6.1.2_glnxa64_installer.bin

After several minutes of waiting, a GUI should open up where you can insert your MATLAB account, set up your local folder, and complete the installation. The matlab connector will then start to sync your files.

After the files have been synched you can access them in your local folder using MATLAB, a terminal, or your file manager. When you change a file locally, the most recent version of the file is uploaded to the cloud, and it then becomes available on other devices where you have installed MATLAB Drive connector.

The GUI just show a white window and nothing happens, I'm trying to install on Debian 11 on a laptop with Ryzen 7 3700u and 8 GB of RAM, I have previously installed matlab drive connector on the same OS running on a far more limited hardware, does ayone have a clue about what could cause this problem?
