You have confirmed?! 🧐 How exactly? This is important!
Did you try navigate from your root to the target file? 👈👍 Just so, for check...
Fist do list with an empty path - list of the root actually. Next do list with the folder name you expected exactly as shown up in the previous call and so forth till to the file name. All the time don't type path yourself, but copy/paste from the previous call result. At the end try download with the path, passed to download method, exactly as shown in the last list call result (don't modify or use your path construction). Does the file download in this way successfully? 😉
Dump the path constructed in your method, compare with the working one, and figure your mistake out.
Good luck.
