Can't use binary data anywhere

Describe the problem/error/question

I can’t make the binary data to work, with anything. I usually download files with a Drive node, which I can see in my flow in Binary and that i can even download by clicking the download button.

My main issue is to use afterward. Whenever I try to use the “data” binary, it is always empty, whatever service I want to send this file to. (API, Drive, etc.)

What is the error message (if any)?

“No fields - item(s) exist, but they’re empty”

Please share your workflow

Hey @Antho hope all is good. Welcome to the community.

I see you have an error, could you clarify whether the error comes from the HTTP Request2 node? If so, could you please share the screenshot?

To see if the issue is with the n8n or the service you are sending requests to, try to send your request to another endpoint to inspect it. For instance.

If it runs fine, the issue is with what your service that you are sending requests to is expecting vs what you are actually sending.

NOTE: please make sure not to send sensitive information.
