Description
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
