Read Multiple Binary Files from Disk

Simple n8n workflow that manually triggers and reads multiple binary files (e.g., JPGs) from a disk directory for easy import and processing.

This workflow demonstrates the core 'Read Binary Files' node in n8n, triggered manually via the 'Execute Workflow' button. It scans a specified directory path, such as /data/lol/*.jpg, and loads all matching binary files into the workflow as data items. Each file becomes available as binary data with metadata like file name, MIME type, and path, ready for downstream nodes. Benefits include effortless batch file ingestion without custom scripting, supporting automation of file-heavy tasks. It's
