How can I access the metadata/file paths of all a users's saved files? #25

New user of the library here. I was looking through the docs and couldn't find anything on this. How can I access a user's saved items? I'm building a tool that backs up data in a private cloud so I want to get a list of all the metadata of the users items and push them to my DB.

Thanks! Quick second question - how can I access the logged in user's email address?
