The template retrieves files from a specified Google Drive folder and uploads them to a designated Dropbox folder. It integrates with the Google Drive and Dropbox APIs to enable this file transfer process.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
