- Reduce Errors: Minimizes the risk of human error during file uploads.
- Enhance Efficiency: Facilitates quick access and organization of files in the cloud, improving overall productivity.

Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow begins when the user clicks 'execute'.
    2. NextCloud Folder Creation: It checks and creates a folder named 'n8n' in NextCloud if it doesn't exist.
    3. HTTP Request: The workflow sends an HTTP request to fetch the n8n logo image from the specified URL.
    4. Upload to NextCloud: The fetched image is uploaded to the 'n8n' folder in NextCloud as 'logo.png'.
    5. List Files: Finally, it lists all files in the 'n8n' folder to confirm the upload was successful and to show the contents.
  • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Change the URL: Modify the URL in the HTTP Request node to fetch different files.
    - Adjust File Paths: Update the 'path' parameters in the NextCloud nodes to organize files in different folders or with different names.
    - Add More Nodes: Integrate additional nodes for further processing, such as sending notifications upon successful uploads.
    - Modify Credentials: Ensure that the 'nextCloudApi' credentials are updated according to your NextCloud setup for seamless integration.
