The filter option limits output to a selected category of files. A file's category is determined its mime type.

ppt	Presentations: Google Slides, ppt, pptx, odp

Download (-d) all documents to ./download (the default location):

kumodd -d doc

Download (-d) all PDF files to path (-p) /home/user/Desktop/:

kumodd -d pdf -p /home/user/Desktop/

By default, native Google Apps files (docs, sheets and slides) are downloaded in PDF format. To instead download them in LibreOffice format, use the '--nopdf' option.

By default, every available revision is downloaded unless --norevisions is specified, in which case only the current file (latest revision) is downloaded. Previous revisions are saved as filename_(revision id_last modified date).

To download all of the files listed in a previously generated CSV file, use:

kumodd -csv ./filelist-username.csv

To verify the files' MD5, size, Last Modified, and Last Accessed time, and MD5 of metadata, use:

kumodd -verify -col verify
