How do I download files from Matlab Drive on Android?

Hello, I have installed the app "MATLAB" for Android and I can see my files that are synced from my PC on there in the MATLAB Drive folder. However it seems that it's impossible to download the files from the app. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a very poor design choice? Thanks!

Hi Andrea Angella,

I understand that you are unable to download the synced files in your MATLAB for android.

Following are some of the possible workarounds:-

• Check your internet connection: Make sure that your Android device is connected to the internet, and that the connection is stable. Slow or spotty internet connections can cause issues when syncing or downloading files.
• Check the file type: The MATLAB app for Android can only create, open, and edit certain file types, such as 'MATLAB (.m) files',' Live Editor (.mlx) files', and 'text (.txt) files'. If the file you are trying to download is not one of these types, you may need to use a different file-sharing method to get it onto your Android device.
• If you are still having trouble downloading files, try accessing the MATLAB Drive on a different device, such as a desktop computer or laptop. If you can download the files successfully on a different device, the issue may be related to your Android device specifically. The android requirement is 'Android 8.0 or later'.
