What it does

Google Drive Nested Folder Structure Cloner How it works Takes any Google Drive folder structure and creates an exact copy with custom naming Perfect for agencies, consultants, or anyone who needs identical folder structures for multiple projects Creates folder hierarchy only (no files are copied) Handles nested folders automatically with level-by-level processing Set up steps Get your source and destination folder IDs from Google Drive URLs Edit the 3 variables in the CONFIG node (takes 30 seconds) Connect your Google Drive credentials in n8n Run the workflow and watch it create your folder structure For deeply nested folders, run multiple times to process each level What you'll need Google Drive account with API access configured in n8n Read permissions on source folder, write permissions on destination folder Pro tips Create a "Templates" folder in Google Drive for your reusable structures The workflow intelligently skips folders that already exist Each run processes the next level down for nested structures Check the final report to see exactly what was created, skipped, or failed
