Automatically Compress and Upload Files to Dropbox

This workflow fetches binary files from the internet, compresses them into a zip format, and uploads the compressed file to Dropbox.

n8n

The workflow begins with a manual trigger that initiates the process. It uses HTTP Request nodes to download images from specified URLs. These images are then compressed into a zip file using the Compression node. Finally, the compressed zip file is uploaded to Dropbox, making it easily accessible and shareable. You can modify the workflow to fetch files from your local machine or upload them to different services by replacing the respective nodes.
