Native Google Drive file types. Important examples:
"document" for Google Docs
"folder" for folders
"presentation" for Google Slides
"spreadsheet" for Google Sheets
File extensions, such as "pdf", "csv", etc.
MIME types accepted by Google Drive (these are simply passed through).
Arguments

expose()if you want to get the full table used for validation and lookup, i.e. all MIME types known to be relevant to the Drive API.
Examples

## it's vectorized
drive_mime_type(c("presentation", "pdf", "image/gif"))
#> [1] "application/vnd.google-apps.presentation"
#> [2] "application/pdf"
#> [3] "image/gif"
