Is there a way to just list the member's personal folders

Is there a way to just list the personal folders (non-Team and unshared files/folders) inside a member's personal folder?

A member may have Team/Shared and his personal folders. If I use `list_folder`, it lists all folders inside member's folder. I've used `"include_mounted_folders": true` but no luck I still got all the folders inside team member's folder.

    Using the 'include_mounted_folders' parameter would be the closest option to this, but from your description it sounds like you want the "false" behavior, not the "true" behavior as you wrote.

    Anyway, note per the documentation that this only affects "entries under mounted folders", not the mount points themselves. I.e., if you set 'include_mounted_folders' to 'false', you'll still get the entries for the shared folders themselves, but not their contents.
