Auto n8n Workflow Backup to Google Drive

This n8n workflow provides a fully automated solution for backing up all your n8n workflows to Google Drive. Upon triggering—either manually or via a schedule—it creates a timestamped folder (e.g., 'Workflow Backups Monday 16-05-2025') and fetches a complete list of your workflows using the n8n internal API. Each workflow is then exported as a separate JSON file and uploaded to the new folder, ensuring individual, versioned backups ready for restore or sharing.

The process includes advanced features like iteration over workflows for batch handling and optional deletion of outdated backup folders to maintain a clutter-free Google Drive. This is ideal for developers, agencies, and teams managing complex automations, preventing data loss from deletions or errors.

Benefits include disaster recovery, version tracking, and seamless collaboration without manual exports. Use cases span solo automators scheduling weekly backups, enterprise teams ensuring compliance, or shared n8n instances needing portable workflow archives. Setup is straightforward: import the JSON, configure Google Drive and n8n API credentials, and activate.
