This template watches a Google Drive folder for new uploads, downloads each file, and saves it to a Dropbox folder.
Use it to keep a second copy for backup, a client share, or a tool that only reads Dropbox. Connect Google Drive and Dropbox, then point the trigger at the Drive folder and the upload at the Dropbox path.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. 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.
