Matlab Drive unable to contact MathWorks Servers

6 views (last 30 days)
I'm using MATLAB drive concurrently on two systems. It connects fine on my laptop but not on my desktop. It was working when I first installed it. The error message I recieve is: "Some files failed to update. Unable to contact MathWorks servers."

Hi David, does your desktop use a proxy or anything like that to access the internet? Which operating system are you using?

Problem solved! Turns out my institution's AV (sophos) was blocking it. IS just had to add an exception for it.
Works great now. Thanks!

Hello,
I am getting the same error. I uninstalled MATLAB Drive Connector several times, even deleted the folder C:\Users\Michal\AppData\Local\MathWorks\MATLABConnector and the old Matlab Drive folder but after new installation I am getting the same error. So I turned off my firewall (I use only windows defender) but Connector still hasn't been able to contact MathWorks servers.
When I click on MATLAB Drive online icon I am able to reach the site and log in to the drive. When I try to access MATLAB Drive via Matlab, it tells me, that the folder does not exist but it has been configured in Matlab Connector. When I installed it for the first time, it was working fine, but after a while stopped working. Please, what should I do to solve that?
Thank you.
Michal

Thanks for reply. I have already seen these topics but I haven't been able to solve the problem. I do not use proxy server nor AV.
