- You can follow this link to logout from MATLAB Drive connector. https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/452867-how-can-i-log-out-of-matlab-drive-connector
- After this, navigate to the directory where Matlab is installed. This is typically "/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023b" or a similar location.
- Within this directory, find the "toolbox/matlab/drive" folder. This is where the Matlab Drive service is located. Remove this folder.
- Check if there are any startup scripts related to Matlab Drive in userpath. If you find any, you can disable them using the appropriate commands for your Linux distribution.

I would like to permanently disable Matlab Drive in Linux (R2023b). I have no use for this functionality, and do not want unnecessary services running on my machine (especially when I am not even running Matlab!)
I have tried uninstalling ServiceHost, but then Matlab will not start.

Hi Lionel,
I understand that you want to disable MATLAB Drive permanently on your system.
Refer to the following documentation link to know about startup script and userpath.
Hope this helps.

I've also followed the above steps, and am encountering the same issue as LionelB above — specifically, the service host still lingers after exiting MATLAB proper. Also similarly, no drive directory was present for me in the specified location. Is some other component starting the service host, and forgetting to kill it upon exit?
