Nicolas,

The command Marsh gave requires Advanced GAM (https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3)

As Ross points out you need to use Advanced GAM.  After that IIRC it's a two step process.  First you'll need the ID of the folder of interest, then you can pull the file list.  So, I think something like this:

> gam user <someUser> show fileinfo teamdrive "<team drive name>" teamdrivefilename "< folder name >" fields id,title

That will get you the ID of the folder, then you can ask for a list of files in the folder.

> gam user <someUser> print filelist select <folderID from previous step> fields owner,id.title

That should get you a list of all the files in the folder.  It's a non-obvious process and Ross may have a much slicker way to do it.
