Compress Binary Files to ZIP Format

This n8n workflow simplifies the process of fetching multiple binary files from the web, compressing them into a single ZIP file, and storing the archive in Dropbox. It starts with HTTP Request nodes that download specific files (e.g., images), naming their binary data 'logo' and 'workflow_image'. The Compression node then zips these files together, outputting 'images.zip'. Finally, the Dropbox node uploads the ZIP to a specified path.

Key benefits include reduced storage needs through compression, streamlined file bundling for sharing, and automation of repetitive tasks. It's highly customizable: swap HTTP nodes for Read Binary File for local files, change compression to gzip, or replace Dropbox with Write Binary File or other cloud services like Google Drive.

Ideal use cases span e-commerce (bundling product images for customers), customer service (zipping support documents), and general file management (archiving web assets). This saves time, minimizes manual zipping, and integrates seamlessly into larger automations, enhancing productivity without coding.
