Upload files to dropbox to FOLDER A and then have AI extract information from this one picture, such as summarizing text in the picture
After 1 BY 1 summarizing, n8n will move the files to FOLDER B (Where I can browse the file later if I need to)
A google sheet is to be updated with summary of picture and the url link.
I can grab the text summary but can’t grab the link, although the picture url path is visible
I need a code for the URL
@Parintele_Damaskin would appreciate your wisdom.
Dropbox API also sucks because it’s only temporary and you have to renew it every few hours, which is not useful for long term.
Microsoft onedrive is difficult to sign up.
Any other suggestions for storage where I will upload the files from the phone to the cloud drive and kept there under free tier? Not too many files.
Gemini / Chatgpt suggested DROPBOX TRIGGER of CREATE A LINK which doesn’t exist.
I’m running n8n vps self host v2.1.0
n8n version: 2.1.0Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): VPS Docker Self hosted
hey @Trying2Ai !
First …
Trying2Ai:
can’t grab the link
Use the complete path as well in expression when you are reffering to that :
and here is my example how you can use expressions:
for this thing:

is a matter of choice…I use Drive, since is resonable and free for some hobby needs. You just need to Enable the API in th library wheer did you eanbled for Sheets.
Decide, learn to use expressions, then come with a plan, and if you get stuck, some of us are here .
Appreciate your reply @Parintele_Damaskin
When I use your command, I only get in the google sheet:
https:///doneAIconversion/Photo Nov 28 2025, 7 35 43 AM.png
I noticed you are using webhook and I’m using append row in sheet directly? Does that matter?
my new code is looking like:
You have an extra / in your Url…
But before expanding this topic with chain posts and different problems i STRONGLY suggest you to take this official courses, so your knowledge can handle at last a URL format , that 99% of people that use web knows that has only 2 slashes (https:// not ever https:///).TEXT COURSES .
Cheers !
I really do not know where that one extra. / came from, as you see in my code theres only 2 //, somehow in the preview theres 3.
When I deleted 1 / in the code, then in the preview there is 2… strange…
Anyways, you say that our output is outputting two different links yours is not going to drop box, neither is mine…
My friend… I strongly suggest the courses, otherwise you will get “stuck” at every node you encounter…
To answer to your last post … this is why there were 3 slashes, is normal that is not working to upload since there is NO domain name … the basic knowledge are missing here, so again, take that 2-3h courses from n8n.
Cheers!
I’m reading the course
You’re asking me where to complete URL is. I don’t know where it is. I don’t know why it’s not there. That’s my problem.
Its not being pulled from the different fields.
hey @Trying2Ai !
Here s an option with Drive(since I DONT use the other services).
This is a good start, before wanting to expand.
Hi @Trying2Ai ,
Currently, you are using this - https://www.dropbox.com/home {{ $json.path_display }}
Please, Change this with - https://www.dropbox.com/home {{ $json.metadata.path_display }}
And also take a course on n8n, which will help you a lot in the future,
The answer was already given by @Parintele_Damaskin . Just simplifying.
Thank you,
