Stop wasting n8n executions on Google Drive monitoring

The built-in Google Drive trigger polls every minute. That's 1,440 executions a day per folder. Imagine monitoring 6 or 7 folders....
Your N8N cloud subscription cant handle that :-D

Here's how to replace it with a real-time webhook that only triggers when something actually changes. Zero polling, zero wasted executions.

Here are both workflows:

and

Happy to answer questions.
