From your screenshot, I see you're using a team with the "team space" configuration.
When listing or downloading files in an account with the team space configuration using /2/files/list_folder[/continue] or /2/files/download, the call will operate in the team member folder by default, and not in the team space.
If you want to access the team space, you'll need to set the "root" for those calls to be the team space. You can find more information on how this works and how to configure those API calls accordingly in the Namespace Guide.

Thank you for your reply! It helped me a lot.
One more question, my collegue got DEV account to work with so he can set up the API calls. His environment looks like below. And when he makes the 2/files/list_folder call, all folders (team folders and everything else) are retrieved. Why does that happen? Thank you!

In this screenshot, I see that your colleague is not using the "team space" configuration, so their team folders are mounted insider their member folder. That means that for them, they will be listed and accessible by default, without configuring the root for the API calls.
