Google Drive using .NET API exportLinks empty

Similar to this question Getting public URL to file in Google Drive using .NET API.

using the Google.APIs.Drive.v2 API I am able to list the files DriveService.Files.List(). That returns a collection of Files.

The items have a property exportLinks, however that property is empty for all my files.

Please advise. Thanks.

Note: the folders where the files are in, are shared using Visible with Link.

Update: adding one of the resulting entries per Claudio's request:

If you encounter missing exportLinks on Google Docs double check your permissions scope.

Not all file formats support exportLinks and png is one of them. To know all possible import/export combinations, request the About feed and check the importFormats and exportFormats fields:
