Google Drive and HTTP Request integration

n8n lets you integrate Google Drive with HTTP Request to build powerful workflows. Design automation that extracts, transforms and loads data between your apps and services. You can choose from thousands of ready-made apps or use our universal HTTP connector to sync apps not yet in our library.

Build your own Google Drive and HTTP Request integration

Create custom Google Drive and HTTP Request workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

Backup n8n workflows to Google Drive

Temporary solution using the undocumented REST API for backups using Google drive.

Please note that there are issues with this workflow. It does not support versioning, so please know that it will create multiple copies of the workflows so if you run this daily it will make the folder grow quickly. Once I figure out how to version in Gdrive I'll update it here.
