Turn off Your Connection to the MapleCloud Content Exchange
The MapleCloud Content Exchange server stores all the content uploaded by Maple users. Maple polls the server at frequent time intervals and updates the entries in the MapleCloud window as soon as content is uploaded.
By default, the MapleCloud connection is on. To disable the connection to the MapleCloud, you can:
Turn off the MapleCloud connection from the Options dialog.
Configure Maple to disable the connection to the server whenever Maple is launched.
Turn off the Connection in Current and Future Maple Sessions
Turn off the Connection When Maple is Started
You can optionally turn off your current and future MapleCloud connections by doing the following:
From the File menu, click Options ( ). The Options dialog opens with the General tab active.
Select the Network tab.
In the Network tab, clear the Enable cloud connection check box.
You can turn off the connection for the current Maple session only or globally for the current session and all future sessions.
For more information, see Options Dialog - Network Tab.
Alternatively, if you are a system administrator and want to control the use of the MapleCloud, you can configure Maple to turn off the connection to the server as soon as Maple is launched. When Maple is launched, Maple does not poll the server, and the Enable cloud connection check box in the Options Dialog - Network Tab is hidden from the Maple interface.
To disable the MapleCloud connection, modify the user preferences file.
To disable the MapleCloud connection:
Close Maple.
Open the user preferences file for Maple in a text editor. It is usually found here:
Windows:
C:\Users\<User ID>\AppData\Roaming\Maple\<version>\maple.ini.
macOS:
//Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/Maple/<version>/Maple preferences
Linux:
//home/$USER/.maple/<version>/maplerc
Find the entry Use Maple Cloud and edit it to
Use Maple Cloud=false
Save and close the preferences file.
Note: Alternatively, you can launch Maple without the MapleCloud connection by launching it with the -nocloud option.
Windows
Right-click your Maple desktop icon and select Properties...
In the Target field, enter a space after the closing quotation mark and enter -nocloud.
Click OK.
macOS
On macOS you can turn off your connection by navigating to the /Library/Frameworks/Maple.framework/Versions/<Maple_version>/bin directory at a command prompt, and entering xmaple -nocloud.
