If you know where a file is within your MATLAB Drive folder, you can also use matlabdrive to get the full path to the file.

md = fullfile(matlabdrive,'myfolder','myfunction.m')

md = 
    'C:\Users\username\MATLAB Drive\myfolder\myfunction.m'

Tips

• On a desktop system, MATLAB Connector must be running and properly configured. Otherwise, matlabdrive returns an error. For more information, see Use MATLAB Connector to Manage Your Files.

• On a MATLAB Parallel Server™ cluster provisioned through Cloud Center, the cluster must be configured as a personal cluster with a dedicated head node. Otherwise, matlabdrive returns an error.
