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.
