Summary

Downloads a SharePoint file using NTLM credentials or the configured SharePoint API credentials, and returns the file as binary data. Choose Manual mode to enter its full path, or From SharePoint URL mode to derive the web path and file path from a URL.

Inputs

  • Download Input Mode — Choose Manual (the default in runtime) or From SharePoint URL. The UI declares From SharePoint URL as the default.
  • File Path — Required in Manual mode; the full SharePoint file path to download.
  • SharePoint URL — Required in From SharePoint URL mode; the node parses the file path and web path from the URL.
  • Web Path — Optional SharePoint web path for Manual mode. URL mode derives this from the URL.

Output shape

One n8n item containing JSON metadata and binary property data.

The JSON includes fileName (taken from the last path segment, or file) and path (the resolved file path). The binary data is base64-encoded and labeled application/octet-stream. Download supports NTLM authentication; other configured authentication types use the SharePoint API request path.
