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
