Hey there everyone - just to start I want to say I am a beginner using n8n with limited coding experience (I am learning)
I am trying to create a workflow where images uploaded to a Google Drive folder are converted via OCRspace so the text in the images can be put into a Google Sheet
The download node shows that the the output has binary data:
However, the debug node after the download node shows that binary data is present but the preview returns “filesystem_v2” - which, from my understanding is a placeholder used by n8n but no data is actually present:
Then I created a node to manually convert the binary data to base64 - I received an error that no base64 data is present:
I also tried using a Convert to File node but an error occurred - I did put the output of my download node to ‘data’ but the Convert to File node indicates that the value of ‘data’ is not set:
Ill be honest, I am really confused and stuck on what to do. Any advice would be great - thank you!
