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
