Turn Off Your Connection to the MapleCloud Document Exchange
The MapleCloud Document Exchange server is a Google™-hosted server that stores all the worksheets uploaded by Maple users from their MapleCloud palettes. Maple polls the server at frequent time intervals and updates the entries in the MapleCloud palette as soon as content is uploaded.
By default, the MapleCloud palette is visible and the connection is on. To disable the connection to the MapleCloud, you can:
•
|
Collapse the MapleCloud palette or remove the MapleCloud palette from the visible palettes.
|
•
|
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 from the Palette
|
|
When you collapse the MapleCloud palette, the title bar of the palette becomes MapleCloud (Off), indicating the cloud connection is disabled. To enable the connection, simply open the palette. Removing the MapleCloud palette also disables the connection.
For more information on managing palettes, see Arranging Palettes in Your Worksheet.

Turn Off the Connection in Current and Future Maple Sessions
|
|
You can optionally turn off your connection to the MapleCloud Document Exchange server by selecting Tools > Options... (Maple > Preferences on Macintosh) and clearing the Enable cloud connection check box. When the connection to the server is turned off, no MapleCloud palette is displayed and Maple does not poll the server for new worksheets. You can turn off the connection for the current Maple session only or globally for all future sessions, in addition to the current session.
For more information, see Options Dialog - General Tab.

Turn Off the Connection When Maple is Started
|
|
Alternatively, if you are a system administrator and want to control the use of the MapleCloud Document Exchange, you can configure Maple to turn off the connection to the server as soon as Maple is launched. When Maple is launched, no MapleCloud palette is displayed, Maple does not poll the server, and the Enable cloud connection check box in the Options Dialog - General Tab is hidden from the Maple interface.
