files options for listing just Google Docs documents

[simonw]

Would be neat to have options that can return:

• All Google Docs documents of any type
• Just docs
• Just sheets
• Just presentations
• Maybe just drawings?

I think the content types are:

application/vnd.google-apps.document
application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet
application/vnd.google-apps.presentation
application/vnd.google-apps.form
application/vnd.google-apps.map

The form and map ones are interesting.

Maybe:

• --apps - get all Google Docs apps files of any format
• --docs - all docs
• --sheets - all sheets
• --presentations -- all presentations
• --drawings -- all drawings

This appears to work as part of the q parameter:

(mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.map' or mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.presentation')

[simonw]

Here's a full list of mime types: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/mime-types

• application/vnd.google-apps.audio
• application/vnd.google-apps.document
• application/vnd.google-apps.drive-sdk
• application/vnd.google-apps.drawing
• application/vnd.google-apps.file
• application/vnd.google-apps.folder
• application/vnd.google-apps.form
• application/vnd.google-apps.fusiontable
• application/vnd.google-apps.map
• application/vnd.google-apps.photo
• application/vnd.google-apps.presentation
• application/vnd.google-apps.script
• application/vnd.google-apps.shortcut
• application/vnd.google-apps.site
• application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet
• application/vnd.google-apps.unknown
• application/vnd.google-apps.video

I'm only going to treat application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet and application/vnd.google-apps.presentation and application/vnd.google-apps.document and application/vnd.google-apps.drawing as things you can retrieve with --apps since those are the ones that have export options according to https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/ref-export-formats

(OK that page lists "app scripts" too, but I shall ignore those)
