Binary data

[mp014]

I have a question. If I generate binary data (like an image file from Stability.AI) at an earlier point in my workflow and then like 10 nodes later I want to call on that binary data, is there a way that I can store that in my n8n cloud instance? What if I am locally hosting?

Yes likely, but probably not recommend due to data may fill quickly, there a node there to store to disk, but most people store to google drive or similar, also u it generates it, its already in execution mem, so u can probably just call it into the next node. locally u might have more storage, but either way be nice to see some suggestions

Hey @mp014

You see see here

You can use a merge node, I found recently.
