As of now, there is no built-in function to log out of MATLAB Drive Connector as it is designed for use by a single user. If you must sign out of MATLAB Drive Connector, you must uninstall MATLAB Drive Connector and reinstall it. Instructions to do this are found below:
Step 1: Close all running MATLAB windows.
Step 2: After closing MATLAB, execute these exact two commands depending on your OS to kill the MathWorksServiceHost process and remove both the Service Host installation directory and the user-specific credentials folder:
Windows
In Windows Command Prompt, execute these two commands:
Taskkill /IM MathWorksServiceHost.exe /F
rd /s /q %appdata%\MathWorks\credentials %localappdata%\MathWorks\ServiceHost %localappdata%\MathWorks\MATLABConnector
Linux
In Linux Terminal, execute these two commands:
killall MathWorksServiceHost
rm -rf ~/.matlab/credentials ~/.MathWorks/ServiceHost ~/.MATLABConnector
macOS
In Mac Terminal (Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app), execute these two commands:
killall MathWorksServiceHost
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/MathWorks/credentials ~/Library/Application\ Support/MathWorks/ServiceHost ~/Library/Application\ Support/MathWorks/MATLABConnector
Step 3: If you already have a MATLAB Drive folder on your computer and you want to continue saving content there with a different account after reinstallation, you will need to also delete this folder.
Step 4: Reinstall MATLAB Drive Connector. When you reinstall MATLAB Drive Connector again, the configuration wizard will appear, as if you were installing it for the first time:
