Research direction
Look at the existing export functionality in the codebase, likely in a module handling file export. Modify the export logic to accept a user specified MIME type parameter. Check the Google Drive API documentation for supported MIME types and how to export with a specific format. Ensure the change is backward compatible and properly handles error cases for unsupported MIME types.
