Google Drive Trigger multiple file create

I am encountering difficulties with multiple files create using Google Drive Trigger. When I create multiple files, the API returns only one file. Is there a way to retrieve all the newly created files in the folder within a one-minute interval?

  • n8n version: 1.76.3
  • Database (default: SQLite): SQLite
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main)
  • Running n8n via Docker desktop app
  • Operating system: windows 11

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:
  • n8n version: 1.76.3
  • Database (default: SQLite): SQLite
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main)
  • Running n8n via Docker desktop app
  • Operating system: windows 11

The system your describing could be setup but it would be a little advanced, is there a reason you can’t just watch for a new folder and then fetch all files within the folder?

what i mean is when i create multiple file at the same time, the trigger does not capture for each file but only for one fille, so that make only one item exist in output.
Is anyway to capture all file has been created?

Hey @Tuan_Anh - actually it should return multiple if you actually upload mutliple. See picture


In this example, I upload multiple via form upload and later use this code node to prepare for multi upload

Maybe there is a difference to the Create File Node you are describing.
Let me know if this helps.

Hi @jksr

Thank you for your solution. I will give it a try later.

To clarify, my case involves using the Google Drive Trigger node to monitor a specific folder for newly created files, rather than uploading files.

Thanks again for your support!

Gotcha hm OK this works as expected for me (no special settings on 1.79.3)

If you’re still having issue you could always filter to remove any unwanted webhook hits, waiting and checking until all files you need are present.
