Dropbox to Minio Single-File Manual Transfer

How it works

1. 1.Set Folders defines dropboxFolder and minioBucket values on manual start.
2. 2.Dropbox nodes list folders and then files under each subfolder, filtered to type=file by the If node.
3. 3.Limit restricts the item count and Loop 1 Item processes one file per iteration.
4. 4.Download File fetches the file binary from Dropbox and Upload to Minio (S3 node) uploads it to the configured bucket.
5. 5.Get Files lists bucket objects and File URL adds a Key field of the form https://minio.keneticbb.com/{bucket}/{Key}.

Use cases

• Archiving Dropbox files into S3-compatible Minio storage.
• Generating public-style URLs for files stored in Minio.
• Running a limited one-file proof-of-concept migration between the two services.

Requirements

• Valid Dropbox credentials in n8n for the list and download operations.
• S3 credentials in n8n pointed at the custom Minio endpoint minio.keneticbb.com with the n8n-demo bucket existing.
• Adjusting dropboxFolder and minioBucket in the Set Folders node to match your environment.

Setup and testing in n8n

1. Run the workflow manually from the trigger and confirm the /n8n folder listing succeeds.
2. Verify only one Dropbox file is processed due to the Limit and Loop nodes.
3. Check the uploaded object appears in the n8n-demo bucket via the Get Files output.
4. Inspect the Key field in the File URL output to confirm it matches the expected Minio URL format.
