Back up self-hosted workflows to Google Drive on a schedule

How it works

This workflow automatically backs up all your n8n workflows to Google Drive on a schedule.

The workflow:

Creates a new timestamped backup folder in Google Drive Fetches all workflows from your n8n instance Converts each workflow into a JSON file Uploads every workflow backup into the newly created folder Automatically deletes older backup folders to keep storage clean

This helps prevent accidental workflow loss and removes the need for manual exports.
