> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Google Vids files cannot be exported using the `files.export` method or the `exportLinks` field on the `files` resource. Attempting to do so returns a `fileNotExportable` error. To download Google Vids files as MP4, use the [`files.download`](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/files/download) method with [long-running
> operations](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/manage-downloads#download-content-lro).

## Additional export options

To view a list of all system supported export formats for a user, use the
[`get`](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/about/get) method on the [`about`](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/about) resource with the `fields` parameter set to
[`exportFormats`](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/about#About.FIELDS.export_formats).

You can also export Google Workspace documents using Google Apps Script. For
more information on supported formats when exporting content in
Apps Script, see the reference documentation for [Google Docs](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/document/document#getascontenttype), [Google Sheets](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet#getascontenttype),
and [Google Slides](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/slides/image#getascontenttype).
