Good Morning,
gam user <User Email Address> copy drivefile <Team Drive Folder ID> recursive copytopfolderpermissions false copyfilepermissions false copysubfolderpermissions false newfilename "<New Folder Name>"
However, when I do this it just creates a copy of the same folder in the root of the shared drive. What am I doing wrong here?

Will,
You didn't specify the parent folder of he destination so it defaults to the top of the current drive.
Add: parentid root

Is it possible to copy all the contents of a Shared Drive to the root of a user's mydrive while retaining folder structure and sharing permissions?

Steve,
Yes. See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Users-Drive-Copy-Move#copy-files-and-folders
There are a lot of details, send me a Meet/Zoom invitation to discuss.
Ross
