I just installed MATLAB on my work laptop with Windows 11. The org uses OneDrive for file storage. My OneDrive is set to only download files when they are opened ("Always keep on this device" is checked off).
What I discovered was that MATLAB insists on downloading all the files in the folder where I want to navigate to to save my script. As in, if I want to save the script in the folder OneDrive/Documents/Some Folder, and there is like 20GB of other files in that folder, MATLAB will trigger download of all 20GB of other files before it will even let me save my one file.
What’s even worse, when I cancel the automatic download MATLAB freezes. If I Block App in automatic downloads MATLAB freezes. After it freezes the only way to close it is force quit through the Task Manager. So my options are: I let MATLAB download whatever it wants as I navigate through my OneDrive, or freeze the program by cancelling the downloads.
I haven’t used MATLAB since v. 2021 and this behavior is new for me. Is there anything I can do to use the software without downloading files to local drive? I simply do not have space for that (nor the time to download GB of files each time I want to move around my OneDrive). I can use admin account but only temporarily, after coordinating with the IT department.
I found a couple of threads here on this topic but nothing that answers my question. Thank you in advance.I just installed MATLAB on my work laptop with Windows 11.
