I have been using n8n locally and now want to shift to the cloud version. I’ve paid for a plan and use the same account details as I used for my local host however I can’t see any of the workflows. How do I transfer them from my local to cloud.

Easy way is to use command line. Export all Workflow in a single file. Exec this: n8n export:workflow --all --output=all_workflows.json then you can click on "Add workflow" in your cloud page and finally on 3 dots on top right -> Import json Here full documentation: https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/c…

Thanks, I used the command: n8n export:workflow --id= --output=file.json (replaced with my specific ID) The file downloaded, and I tried to upload with the thee dots, but nothing is happening.

Glad to read that. Can you please mark as resolved? Have a nice day
