Allow syncing directus_files

[shadiramadan]

I'd like to be able to sync directus_files. I don't need directus-sync to handle syncing the assets themselves, only the table entries. I manage some icon files with predefined names that map to a custom icon library, these are uploaded as images in Directus until Directus has a better system for managing custom icons.

I essentially do a GCS/S3 copy with a glob on SVGs, and I was planning on filtering the synced files based off this hook:

    files: {
      /**
       * @param {Query} query
       * @param {DirectusClient} client
       */
      onQuery: (query, _client) => {
        query.filter = {
          ...query.filter,
          type: { _eq: "image/svg+xml" },
        };
        return query;
      },
    }

This is the error I get having defined files in onlyCollections.

      "message": "Config file: [onlyCollections,3] Invalid enum value. Expected 'dashboards' | 'flows' | 'folders' | 'operations' | 'panels' | 'permissions' | 'policies' | 'presets' | 'roles' | 'settings' | 'translations', received 'files'",

Please also enable syncing files, leaving the responsibility of the assets themselves to to the user. I believe directus says if it can't find a file in your storage and it let's you upload a file to update the file entry if so.

Really awesome library! I had written some scripts of my own for managing snapshot state and wrote idempotent seeds using the GraphQL API but I found the flow made more sense to just interact with the UI directly and use your utility! Much cleaner flow!

@shadiramadan The sync of file is not supported yet, but it could be achieved once the Seed feature is finished. I'm currently working on it.
Thanks for the words
