detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow provides a streamlined solution for uploading multiple files to Google Drive. Users simply fill out a custom web form, providing files and a target folder name, and the workflow intelligently handles folder creation or utilization before uploading all content.
About This Workflow
Say goodbye to manual file organization! This powerful n8n workflow automates the process of bulk uploading files to your Google Drive. It starts with a user-friendly web form where you can drag-and-drop multiple files and specify a destination folder name. Upon submission, the workflow intelligently checks if the requested folder already exists in your Google Drive. If not, it seamlessly creates the folder for you. Finally, all submitted files are efficiently uploaded to the correct folder, maintaining their original names. This saves significant time and ensures your Google Drive stays perfectly organized, making it ideal for teams, projects, or personal use.
Key Features
- Customizable Web Form Input: Easily collect multiple files and a target folder name through a simple, shareable web form generated by n8n.
- Intelligent Folder Management: Automatically searches for the specified Google Drive folder. If it doesn't exist, the workflow creates it on the fly.
- Effortless Bulk Upload: Supports uploading multiple files in a single submission, eliminating repetitive manual uploads.
- Maintain File Integrity: Uploads files while preserving their original names, ensuring consistent organization.
- Streamlined User Experience: Provides a simple, guided process for users to submit files without needing direct Drive access.
How To Use
- Set up Google Drive Credentials: Ensure you have configured your Google Drive OAuth2 API credentials in n8n.
- Access the Form: Activate the 'On form submission' node and use the generated webhook URL to access the web form.
- Specify Parent Folder (Optional): In the 'Create Folder' node, you may wish to adjust the
folderIdparameter to specify a different parent folder within your Google Drive where new folders should be created (e.g., a "Submissions" folder). The current setup targets a folder named "n8n" within "My Drive". - Fill and Submit: Users simply fill in the folder name and upload their files via the web form.
- Activate Workflow: Ensure the workflow is active for submissions to be processed automatically.
