Response (file found)

{
  "exists": true,
  "file": {
    "name": "report.csv",
    "path": "/uploads/report.csv",
    "size": 15234,
    "modifiedAt": "2026-03-28T14:30:00.000Z",
    "isDirectory": false
  }
}

Response (file not found)

{
  "exists": false,
  "file": null
}

Note: returns 200 in both cases. Use the exists field for conditional logic.

Use case: conditional upload

In Zapier, use Find File as a search step, then add a filter: "Only continue if exists is false" → Upload. This prevents duplicate uploads.
