Paul has shared a "matlab" folder on Google Drive. You should have the Google Drive sync software running on your computer; this will automatically download the latest files to Google Drive\matlab (e.g., D:\Documents\Google Drive\matlab).

Refreshing when Google Drive has not updated

Sometimes the files on Google Drive do not update from the cloud. To fix, close and restart Google Drive (see Stop and Restart steps below - do not delete the SPM12 folder).

  • Tip: you can see when the latest files should be updated by looking at the latest release notes.
Stop

Right-click Google Drive icon, click settings (three dots), click Quit Google Drive.

Restart

Searh for the Google Drive app from the start menu, select. It should start automatically and re-synchronize. 

Checking that Google Drive is running

Is the Google Drive client running?

When Google Drive is running, there should be an icon on the task bar:

If it is not running, search for Google Drive and start he app

Is there a Google Drive folder with a matlab folder on the Desktop?

Right-click the icon; go to "Open Google Drive folder"

 

If the "matlab' subfolder is not there, you might be signed in to the wrong Google account

Checking you have the correct Google account

Right click the Google Drive icon, got to settings (three points on top-right), click Preferences

Click on the Account tab; the default account Paul set up to share files is researcher1@OSAbrainresearch.org. Ask him for the password.

Do you want to run Google Drive for your account?

If you want to run Google Drive for your account instead of the researcher1@OSAbrainresearch.org, has Paul to share the matlab folder with your Google account account. After you add the shared folder to your drive, Google Drive will then include the matlab folder along with your folders on the Desktop. (Ask Paul for help.)

Troubleshooting: "(1)" files

Files with the suffix "(1)" arise because Google Drive gets confused, and thinks you have a separate and possibly different copy of that file on your computer, so rather than overwriting, it creates a copy with "(1)" suffix. If you just have a couple of files, delete them and the orginal with no suffix. However, if you have a lot, if you want to be sure, or if it continually creates the "(1)" files, then restart Google Drive:

  • Stop Google Drive (right-click over the icon at the bottom right, settings, Quit Google Drive)

  • Go to the Google Drive folder, delete the matlab spm12 folder
  • Restart Google Drive (at the start menu, search for google drive, click it)

And to find all the files, seach for "(1)" in explorer. If explorer fails, install Agent Ransack, which is a proper search tool.
