## Supported Operations

### Drive Operations

1. **List Drives** (`/2/drive` - GET)
   - Lists all accessible drives for the authenticated user
   - Returns drive IDs, names, and basic information

2. **Get Drive Info** (`/2/drive/{drive_id}/settings` - GET)
   - Gets detailed information about a specific drive
   - Includes drive settings and configuration

### File Operations

1. **List Files** (`/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}/files` - GET)
   - Lists files in a specific directory
   - Supports pagination and filtering
   - Can list root directory or any subdirectory

2. **Get File Info** (`/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}` - GET)
   - Gets detailed metadata about a file
   - Includes size, type, creation/modification dates, etc.

3. **Upload File** (`/3/drive/{drive_id}/upload` - POST)
   - Uploads a file to kDrive
   - Supports base64 encoded file data
   - Can specify target directory

4. **Download File** (`/2/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}/download` - GET)
   - Downloads a file from kDrive
   - Returns binary data for file download

5. **Delete File** (`/2/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}` - DELETE)
   - Moves a file to trash (soft delete)
   - File can be restored from trash

6. **Search Files** (`/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/search` - GET)
   - Searches for files by name or content
   - Supports searching in trash
   - Advanced filtering options

7. **Get File Versions** (`/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}/versions` - GET)
   - Gets version history of a file
   - Shows previous versions and restoration points

### Directory Operations

1. **Create Directory** (`/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}/directory` - POST)
   - Creates a new directory
   - Can be created in root or any subdirectory
   - Returns the new directory ID

2. **Create File** (`/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}/file` - POST)
   - Creates a new file with content
   - Supports text content
   - Can be created in any directory

## API Version Strategy

The implementation uses a mixed approach with API versions:

- **v2 endpoints**: Used for core operations that are stable
  - `/2/drive` - Drive listing
  - `/2/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}/download` - File download
  - `/2/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}` - File deletion

- **v3 endpoints**: Used for more advanced operations
  - `/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}/files` - File listing
  - `/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/{file_id}` - File info
  - `/3/drive/{drive_id}/upload` - File upload
  - `/3/drive/{drive_id}/files/search` - File search

This approach ensures compatibility while taking advantage of newer features.

## Authentication

The node uses Bearer Token authentication:

- **API Key**: Required for all operations
- **Authentication Header**: `Authorization: Bearer {api_key}`
- **Secure Storage**: API key is stored securely in n8n credentials

## Error Handling

Comprehensive error handling is implemented:

- **Network Errors**: Handles connection issues and timeouts
- **API Errors**: Processes HTTP status codes and error messages
- **Authentication Errors**: Detects and reports invalid credentials
- **Validation Errors**: Validates input parameters before API calls
- **Continue on Fail**: Supports n8n's continue-on-fail functionality

## Parameter Handling

The node uses dynamic parameter display:

- **Conditional Display**: Parameters show/hide based on selected operation
- **Required Fields**: Enforces required parameters for each operation
- **Default Values**: Provides sensible defaults (e.g., "root" for parent directory)
- **Data Types**: Uses appropriate input types (string, boolean, etc.)

## Response Handling

Different response types are supported:

- **JSON Responses**: For most operations (drive info, file listing, etc.)
- **Binary Responses**: For file downloads
- **Error Responses**: Formatted error messages

## Usage Examples

### Basic Workflow: Upload and List Files

1. **List Drives**: Get available drives
2. **List Files**: List files in root directory
3. **Upload File**: Upload a new file
4. **List Files Again**: Verify the file was uploaded

### Advanced Workflow: File Management

1. **Search Files**: Find files matching criteria
2. **Get File Info**: Get details about specific files
3. **Create Directory**: Organize files
4. **Move Files**: (Would require additional implementation)
5. **Delete Files**: Clean up old files

## Limitations and Future Enhancements

### Current Limitations

1. **No File Moving**: Cannot move files between directories
2. **No File Copying**: Cannot copy files
3. **No File Sharing**: Cannot manage file sharing permissions
4. **No Batch Operations**: Operations are performed one at a time
5. **No Webhooks**: No real-time event handling

### Potential Future Enhancements

1. **File Moving/Copying**: Add operations to move/copy files
2. **Sharing Management**: Add sharing and permission operations
3. **Batch Operations**: Support for bulk operations
4. **Webhook Support**: Real-time event handling
5. **Advanced Search**: More search filters and options
6. **Trash Management**: Restore from trash, permanent delete
7. **File Preview**: Generate file previews
8. **File Conversion**: Convert between file formats

## Testing

The node includes basic structure testing:

- **File Existence Check**: Verifies all required files are present
- **JSON Validation**: Ensures package.json is valid
- **TypeScript Syntax**: Basic syntax checking

## Build Process

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the node
npm run build

# The built files will be in the dist/ directory
```

## Installation in n8n

1. **Copy the built files** to your n8n custom nodes directory
2. **Restart n8n** to load the new node
3. **Configure credentials** with your kDrive API key
4. **Start using** the kDrive node in your workflows

## Dependencies

- **n8n-workflow**: Core n8n workflow types and interfaces
- **request**: HTTP request library (included in n8n)
- **TypeScript**: For type-safe development

## Compatibility

- **n8n Version**: Compatible with recent n8n versions
- **kDrive API**: Uses both v2 and v3 API endpoints
- **Browser Support**: Works in n8n's browser-based environment

## Security Considerations

- **API Key Security**: API keys are stored securely
- **HTTPS**: All API calls use HTTPS
- **Input Validation**: Basic input validation is implemented
- **Error Handling**: Sensitive error details are not exposed

## Performance Considerations

- **Pagination**: Large file listings should use pagination
- **Batch Processing**: For many files, consider batch processing
- **Rate Limiting**: Be aware of API rate limits
- **File Size**: Large file uploads/downloads may take time
