Description
plotly/MATLAB-Online, on Windows, uses %APPDATA%\.plotly.
plotly/plotly.py, on Windows, uses ~\.plotly.
This is awkward because the Python statement import plotly when the files do not yet exist, the folder ~/.plotly is created and then two files ~/.plotly/.credentials and ~/.plotly/.config are also created.
But when I want to use MATLAB-Online, the files are being saved in a different place. Can it be possible to use the same folder (~/.plotly) or a custom location for credentials?

Research direction
Start by comparing the credential locations described for plotly/MATLAB-Online and plotly.py, and review the cross-posted plotly.py issue #728. Determine how MATLAB-Online currently chooses its Windows credentials directory and define the supported common or custom location; done when both tools can use the agreed location consistently.
