Handle binary data without downloading

The idea is:

Trying to grab Zoom recordings from a URL and move them to Dropbox, which handles file uploads as binary data. Make handles the file internally, on the cloud, and then allows me to push the binary data to Dropbox simply. I’d like the same thing in n8n without having to download the file and handle paths or code some workaround.

My use case:

Zoom recording mp4 to Dropbox as binary data

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

Doing this without downloading the file would be amazing to save lots of complexity and workarounds with coded streaming or memory overload/crashing.

Any resources to support this?

Are you willing to work on this?

Hi, have you seen this? https://www.dropbox.com/apps/zoom
This seems to do exactly that without any other tools

I hadn’t seen this. I did get my use case working but that’s a good option too.

The point remains binary file handling requiring downloading and re-uploading is clunky and could be better.
