Usage example: Upload a file to Shade
This walkthrough shows how to upload a file from your local machine into a Shade drive.
Workflow: Local file → Shade
1. Read Binary File node
– Set File Path to the file you want to upload (e.g. /home/user/reports/q1.pdf).
– This node outputs the file as binary data on the data property.
2. Shade node — Asset › Upload
– Workspace: select your workspace from the list (or paste its ID).
– Drive: select the target drive from the list (or paste its ID).
– Path: the folder path inside the drive to upload into, e.g. /reports. Leave blank to upload to the drive root.
– File Name: the name the file should have in Shade, e.g. q1.pdf.
– Binary Property: the name of the binary field carrying the file — data if you used a Read Binary File node with default settings.
3. Run the workflow. On success the Shade node outputs:
{
"path": "/drive-abc123/reports/q1.pdf",
"name": "q1.pdf"
}
The same Workspace and Drive selector pattern is used across all asset and folder operations.
