File Size Crash in Google Drive (cloud)

Describe the problem/error/question

Hey, we’re currently building a workflow for an internal application, which requires a large file upload/download from Google Drive. We’re talking files ranging from 200MB - 2GB in size.

We run into an issue with uploading/downloading files this size, with n8n crashing. Initially, we used n8n cloud, but then moved over to a locally hosted n8n instance, which solved the problem, but we are struggling to host it on Vercel.

We are wondering whether paying for a higher n8n tier would solve our problem, and would allow us to deal with much larger file sizes in n8n cloud

Please share your workflow

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: Latest
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • Operating system: Windows

Thanks in advance!
