Automate Nextcloud File Management with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly manage your Nextcloud files using n8n's visual workflow builder. This integration allows you to automate tasks like creating folders, uploading files, and listing directory contents directly from your n8n workflows.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates common Nextcloud file management tasks, enabling seamless integration between your cloud storage and other applications. It starts with a manual trigger, allowing you to initiate the process when needed. The workflow then leverages the HTTP Request node to fetch an image from a URL, preparing it for upload. Subsequently, it interacts with your Nextcloud instance, first by creating a dedicated folder if it doesn't exist, ensuring organized storage. The fetched image is then uploaded into this newly created folder, preserving its original filename. Finally, the workflow lists the contents of the Nextcloud folder, providing visibility into your stored files.
Key Features
- Automated Folder Creation: Dynamically create folders within your Nextcloud instance to keep your files organized.
- File Upload Automation: Seamlessly upload files from external sources directly into your Nextcloud storage.
- Directory Listing: Gain insights into your Nextcloud folder contents by automatically listing files and subfolders.
- Visual Workflow Design: Build and manage these automations with n8n's intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
How To Use
- Manual Trigger: Add a 'Manual Trigger' node to start your workflow on demand.
- HTTP Request Node: Configure an 'HTTP Request' node to fetch the file you want to upload. Set the 'Response Format' to 'file'.
- Nextcloud Folder Creation: Add a 'Nextcloud' node and set the 'Resource' to 'folder' and specify the desired 'path' (e.g., 'n8n'). This will create the folder if it doesn't exist.
- Nextcloud File Upload: Add another 'Nextcloud' node. Configure the 'path' to include the desired filename (e.g., 'n8n/logo.png'). Enable 'binaryDataUpload' to upload the file fetched in step 2.
- Nextcloud Directory Listing: Add a final 'Nextcloud' node, set the 'Resource' to 'folder', specify the 'path' (e.g., 'n8n'), and set the 'Operation' to 'list' to see the contents of your folder.
