How it works

This workflow automates FTP-to-Google Drive file transfers.It runs on a schedule, retrieves files in batches, downloads them from FTP, and uploads them to Google Drive while keeping original filenames.Batching ensures efficient, smooth processing without overloading the system.

Step-by-step

1. Trigger and list files

  • Schedule Trigger – Starts the workflow at configured intervals.
  • List Files from FTP – Connects to the FTP server and retrieves a list of files from the target folder.

2. Batch processing setup

  • Batch Files – Splits files into small batches for sequential processing.

3. File handling

  • Download File from FTP – Downloads each file from FTP for further processing.

4. Cloud upload

  • Upload to Google Drive – Uploads the file to Google Drive, retaining its original name for consistency.

Why use this?

  • Eliminates manual FTP downloads and Google Drive uploads.
  • Ensures smooth sequential processing with batch handling.
  • Preserves original filenames for clarity and traceability.
  • Runs automatically on a schedule, reducing human intervention.
  • Scales easily to handle large volumes of files efficiently.
