Two alternatives, since I am not exactly sure what you want.
a = num2cell(randi(10,10,10));
your_mat = cell2mat(a);
your_mat_alt = [a{:}];

so i currently have apple.doc, apple.xlsx, apple.csv, banana.doc, banana.xlsx ,etc. in seperate columns. the output should be ['apple.doc;''apple.xslx;' 'banana.doc;' 'banana.xlsx;'] all in one cell
A=[ {'1'},{'1'},{'1'},{'1'},{'0'},{'1'},{'0'},{'1'}];
unique_cell = {sprintf('%s;',A{:})};
Please accept an answer if it helped you.

Another option using STRCAT
A = {'apple.doc', 'apple.xlsx', 'apple.csv', 'banana.doc', 'banana.xlsx'}
B = strcat(A,';')
C = [B{:}]
