I’m trying to understand how to use the /tmp directory to download files (via Google Drive) and upload them to an API. I read through this Working with the filesystem in Node.js But all the linked up workflows don’t work anymore. Is there any working example that I can have a look at to see working with the tmp directory in action?

Hi , the link you’re using is outdated. You can refer to this link instead: Working with the filesystem in Node.js - Pipedream

On another note, there’s a prebuilt action to download file from Google Drive directly: Download File - Pipedream

I also would recommend trying out the $.files instead, it’s persistent storage that avoids a lot of the issues with /tmp when workflows clear their memory between cold/warm states and spinning up new workers to meet your trigger demands

just curious, how did you find that link?
