Problem uploading images to Google Drive

I'm encountering problems when uploading images obtained from a prior HTTP API call.

The data returned is in binary format. When I attempt to upload it to Google Drive, it doesn't display correctly within Drive, and consequently, it doesn't generate an image URL that I can view and subsequently add as a field in Airtable.

Here are the configuration settings for the Google Drive file upload:

The images are viewable if I download them locally. They also function correctly if I upload them to Dropbox. However, I'm facing a separate issue with Dropbox where I cannot generate a shareable link for files uploaded using callin.io.

If anyone has a solution for either the Google Drive or Dropbox issues I'm experiencing, or if you have an alternative method to convert binary image data into an image URL that I can then add to my Airtable database, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

:slight_smile:

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Have you attempted to include toString(61.Data) within the GDrive module after retrieving data from the HTTP module?

Feel free to reach out if you need additional support.

Unfortunately, this approach did not resolve the issue and resulted in the file being uploaded as a binary.

What does the output of the HTTP module look like? What kind of API call are you making there to get the file?

I'm encountering the same problem! Has anyone found a fix? I'm attempting to transfer files from Airtable to Google Drive, but they're inaccessible once uploaded to Google Drive.
