Google-docs – How to do lossless exporting

exportgoogle docsimport

I have several documents created using Google Docs. They are not plain text documents, but documents with images, tables, etc, etc.

How can I export this Google Document to my computer, such that I can import them back into Google Docs at a future date?

The only export options I see are .docx, .odt, .rtf, .pdf, .txt, and .html:

However these options are lossy. My documents are not byte-for-byte-equal after exporting and re-importing.

How can I losslessly export my Google Documents?

You can export Google Docs in their native format by appending export?format=kix to a Google Docs file link. However, even with the API, there's no way to re-import this file into docs at this time.
