How to get a list of files from a folder - file

Question

I could really use some help. I have searched the topics here and on the web in general and got closer to what I need but not the whole way
I need a list of all the files and sub folders within a folder
I have found a lot of help in how to get the files and folders from a directory using Command Prompt, but in my case the directory is massive and would rather just specify the folder I need and then get the files that exist within that folder (and the sub folders and their files). Please also note I am not very technical and can just about manage basic queries with Command Prompt
I need:
A list that I can import into excel that contains - File name, File Path if possible, Amended Date, Author, File Type
The files I need all exist within subfolders in M:\Sales & Marketing\Sales\Sales Tools and some more that I need in M:\Sales & Marketing\Sales\Tenders\Tender Docs
I thought of copying them from the shared folder into my local directory but that was going to take over 2 hours to do
I really would appreciate any help that you can offer. I have tried changing all the examples along the lines of dir /s /b >> filelist.txt to use the folder and path but no luck
Many many thanks in advance

Save all this into a batch file called say MyInfo.bat and then launch it. In the same folder you should find file.csv with some info inside it that may help you. It uses Powershell to get the information but can be launched as a batch file.
Where you mention Author, this returns the owner of the file. The file type is shown by the extension in the filename.
#echo off
more +7 "%~f0" >"%temp%\a.ps1"
powershell "%temp%\a.ps1" >"file.csv"
del "%temp%\a.ps1"
goto :EOF
$files = Get-ChildItem 'M:\Sales & Marketing\Sales\Sales Tools\*' -Recurse
foreach ($file in $files){
$acl = $file | get-acl | select path,owner
$result = "`"$($file.name.ToString())`",`"$($file.directoryname.ToString())`",`"$($acl.owner.ToString())`",$($file.lastwritetime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"))"
write-output $result
}
$files = Get-ChildItem 'M:\Sales & Marketing\Sales\Tenders\Tender Docs\*' -Recurse
foreach ($file in $files){
$acl = $file | get-acl | select path,owner
$result = "`"$($file.name.ToString())`",`"$($file.directoryname.ToString())`",`"$($acl.owner.ToString())`",$($file.lastwritetime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"))"
write-output $result
}
