MimeType
An enumeration that provides access to MIME-type declarations without typing the strings explicitly. Methods that expect a MIME type rendered as a string (for example, 'image/png') also accept any of the values below, so long as the method supports the underlying MIME type.
// Use MimeType enum to log the name of every Google Doc in the user's Drive.constdocs=DriveApp.getFilesByType(MimeType.GOOGLE_DOCS);while(docs.hasNext()){constdoc=docs.next();Logger.log(doc.getName());}// Use plain string to log the size of every PNG in the user's Drive.constpngs=DriveApp.getFilesByType('image/png');while(pngs.hasNext()){constpng=pngs.next();Logger.log(png.getSize());}
