[Link](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient/)\n- n8n version 1.67.1 or higher\n- N8n api key **Guide** from the following link.

Configuration\nUpdate all Google Drive nodes with your credentials.\nEdit the Schedule Trigger node with the desired time to run the backup.\nIf you want to automatically purge old backups.\n\nEdit the \u201cPURGE DAYS\u201d node to specify the age of the backups you want to delete.\nEnable the \u201cPURGE DAYS\u201d node and the 3 subsequent nodes.\nEnable the workflow to run on the specified
