I am encountering an issue with the Microsoft OneDrive node in my n8n workflow. The node uploads a file using the filename from the binary data provided by the HTTP Request node, rather than using the custom File Name specified in the OneDrive node.
This problem was apparently raised about a year ago, and it seems the issue may still be unresolved.
Here’s an image of the issue:

Based on the information provided:
While the official documentation lists all the available file operations (including uploading files), it does not provide details on this particular behavior. If you rely on the custom File Name setting, you might consider one of the following approaches:
Manipulate the Binary Data:
Use a Set node to adjust the properties of the binary data. You can either remove the filename property or set it to your custom file name before passing it to the OneDrive node.
Monitor the Community Thread:
Since this issue is already discussed in the community forum, keeping an eye on that discussion might help you track when an official fix or workaround is provided in a future release.
For now, using the Set node workaround is generally the recommended approach. If you need assistance with configuring such a workaround, let me know and I can provide an example configuration.
