Oops, missed the "only files" part. os.path.isfile can be used as well, then:

python - List files in ONLY the current directory - Stack Overflow

As always, lots of ways to do the same thing.

But with os.walk you know you are only getting files, with os.listdir you need to do additional steps to determine the type of file system object.

I'd use os.listdir: >>> import os >>> myFiles = os.listdir(r"C:\Users\jona6782\Documents\ArcGIS") >>> print(myFiles) ['49058003.jpg', 'AddIns', 'c5A5E1C002DC8445A8FC05C471B1.json', 'Default.gdb', 'GeoNet', 'happy.png', 'JQNew - Copy.sd', 'JQNew.sd', 'LotsOfData.mxd', 'MyProject8.ppkx', 'MyService123.sd', 'New Folder', 'OnlineProjects', 'Packages', 'Portland.slpk', 'Projects', 'ProjectTemplates', 'ProPortalData', 'Rotterdam.slpk', 'scratch', 'scratch.gdb', 'Shapefiles', 'TilingSchemes', 'Toolbox.tbx', 'worldcities.gdb', 'WorldCities.mxd', 'WorldCitiesPG.mxd']‍‍‍‍ It will return a list of the files/folders in a specific directory.
