I am using the storage with 4 computers in 2 locations + travelling - not a problem at all (I did not have this problem sorry).

• All my Metatrader instances are having Community tabs filled with my forum login/pass
• And please note that MetaEditor is also having same Community tab (to be filled) -

There is one thread where similar issue was fixed - Getting error when commit to the storage, any idea how to fix it?

Getting error when commit to the storage, any idea how to fix it?

I think - you are using old link.
The storage is here: https://storage.mql5.io according to help file: https://www.metatrader5.com/en/metaeditor/help/mql5storage/mql5storage_connect - 

The contents of the repository can be viewed in the browser using the following link: https://storage.mql5.io. The browser will require from you to enter your MQL5.community account login and password.

Thank you @Sergey Golubev for your answer .. 

Metatrader Community tabs filled with my forum login/pass and its login normally with no problem there.. 

MetaEditor is the one who face the problem when I try to login with same login/pass (by filling the tabs) and give me the msg (Activation of MQL5 storage failed [401] ) 

Metatrader 5 and MetaEditor 5 are working normally with no problem there and the storage is working also with no problem... 

the problem is only with the storage of MetaEditor4 (with the original account ) the new test one is working okay but i want my original one  :) 

[Sergey Golubev]

I provided all the information I found.
Storage works for me fine (I did not have any single issue about sorry).

Hi, I am new to this technology and I had the same 401 issue when trying to enable the storage.

When I tried to login to https://storage.mql5.io/ I could not but there was no clear error message here or in the log files.

I found that by resetting my password to a longer one I could make it work on both MT4 & 5 (my original password was only 6 chars long - the new one is 12)...

I suggest using a longer password.

Good luck!

If I understand you correctly - you are talking about manually copying the files. It is easy to do that - just right click on the file and select "Open Folder" and you will find the files. 

I was interested in having version control and shared projects for my team - this is so much easier with integrated tools of this nature and I was pleased to see MQL offer this.
