Hi @Daniel_Invincible

What kind of file attachment are you getting from Telegram? You should be able to upload it to Google Drive without any file conversion.

What error message are you getting from the GDrive?

Hi @ria

I am getting a video file as a telegram attachment. It comes in a form of a message json and the video is within the video object.

Here is an example message input:

I am not able to upload this video object to the Google Drive without converting it to Binary Data first and there is no node to convert to binary data. I think I may need to code some sort of algorithm that will do this.

Thanks
