How to create a file in google drive?

Questions
1

Hello,

I’m new here and to n8n and to the APIs as well.
A few days ago, i successfully did this with my cloud account :

  • read a google sheets
  • call one of our workers to modify the sheet
  • update the google sheets

Now i would like to create a new file in a google drive account. I read the documentation https://docs.n8n.io/nodes/n8n-nodes-base.googleDrive/#basic-operations.
I authorized the google drive API in the google cloud console but what then? How can i tell the drive node where to record the file? How could it create anything? Should i use the write binary file node? What kind of workflow can i use? I’m lost. :frowning:

Welcome to the community @StanMeister!

You can create a file by selecting “File → Upload”. By default, it gets created on the top level. If you want to save it in a specific folder you can set its ID under “Parents”.

Here an example workflow:
