Automated Batch File Upload to Google Drive

This n8n workflow streamlines bulk file uploads directly from a form submission to Google Drive, with intelligent folder management. It accepts multiple files and a target folder name, creating the folder if it doesn’t exist, and then uploads all files into the correct location. The process involves triggers, folder search and creation, file preparation, and uploads, ensuring organized storage of files in Google Drive.

The flow starts with a form trigger that collects multiple files and a folder name. It then checks if the specified folder exists in Google Drive using a search query. If the folder exists, the workflow prepares the files (splitting binary data for individual processing) and uploads them to the existing folder. If not, it creates a new folder, prepares the files similarly, and uploads them to the new folder.

This automation is useful in scenarios where bulk file uploads are needed with dynamic folder organization, such as managing project files, client documents, or batch uploads for content management.

Various nodes include Google Drive integration for searching, creating, and uploading folders/files, along with code nodes for processing binary data, complemented by sticky notes for workflow documentation.
