Describe the problem/error/question
I have a workflow that generates an Excel file in Python and uploads it to Google Drive, and everything was working perfectly. After updating to version 1.53.1 and configuring the N8N_DEFAULT_BINARY_DATA_MODE variable to ‘filesystem’, I started having this issue where my .xlsx file appears as a zip file in Google Drive.
What is the error message (if any)?
This printout shows the reported issue: notice that the file reader returned an xlsx file with the correct mimetype, but the upload response indicates that it was uploaded as a zip file.
File used
To simulate the problem, you should use this xlsx file.
