You can find the MIME type of any file in your Google Drive using getMimeType() method as long as the MIME is support by Google Drive. Your script can then easily figure out the actual type (more user friendly) of the file or document using the following getFileType method. For instance, Google Spreadsheet for application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet
and so on.
var mimeType = file.getMimeType();
var fileType = getFileType(mimeType);
function getFileType(mimeType) {
var filetype = '';
switch (mimeType) {
