![Merge Downloaded Files into One Item workflow in Open Flow](https://openflow.run/_astro/preview-light.BxI3e0AM_ZoStDF.webp)

Download example files and combine their contents into one result.

## Setup and use

Run manually to download three example JPEGs. Edit the URLs in **Download and combine files** in Open Flow or **Set URLs** in n8n. Open Flow allows the example host; add the appropriate HTTP capability before using another host.

## Behavior

The files remain in input order as `data_0`, `data_1` and `data_2`. `binary_keys` contains their comma-separated names. n8n returns one item with binary properties; Open Flow returns file objects containing name, MIME type and base64 content. A failed download stops the run. Individual responses and the combined output must fit the platform execution limits.

## Changes to the source

*   Open Flow uses base64 file objects to represent the combined binary data.
