file_unique_id | String | Always | Unique identifier for this file, which is supposed to be the same over time and for different bots. Can't be used to download or reuse the file. |
thumbnail | PhotoSize | Optional | Document thumbnail as defined by the sender |
file_name | String | Optional | Original filename as defined by the sender |
mime_type | String | Optional | MIME type of the file as defined by the sender |
file_size | Integer | Optional | File size in bytes. It can be bigger than 2^31 and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a signed 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this value. |
