1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.
Many times it is necessary for the user to manually copy and paste the output of a workflow using the result box. That is inadequate because: 1) it is inefficient and goes against the automation philosophy of the project, 2) manually extracting the output of a workflow is cumbersome and prone to errors, 3) the lack of a remote save option prevents the use of temp files in the workflow essentials for debug, 4) it prevents the option to auto-resume/retry a workflow without having to restart it from scratch and lose the progress, 5) it makes impossible to update files remotely and asynchronously using the workflow as a chron/timed automatic job that does not require user intervention.
The proposal id to add a “Save to...” block, with the function to save the output files on SFTP or Clouds remote services like:
- SFTP/SSH remote server (with automatic SSH key generation)
- Google Drive
- Microsoft One Drive
- DropBox
- Microsoft Azure
- AWS S3
- WebDAV
- Jottacloud (for European users)
- Tailscale (for sensible data)
- Yandex Drive
- GitHub (and with GitHub Action to update files based on a cron custom script)
- …and pretty much anything supported by https://rclone.org
It would be great if the user could add more than one service as a fallback in case one was temporarily unavailable.
2. Additional context or comments
Of course, a correspondent “Load from...” block would be also useful, since it would share the remotes configurations and would not require additional actions by the user.
