SharePoint Document Library Metadata
The SharePoint folder connector is meant to expand files, not get metadata. Try the SharePoint list connector instead (yes I realize it's a library - trust me). If you need both the file content and the metadata, you can do two queries and merge them to combine.

Hi christinepayton ,
Your point here has helped me in confirming about capturing metadata with sharepoint list. I checked with folder, odata as well, it did not capture metadata I am looking for. I am looking for a particular metadata - Retention label. When I connected using online list 2.0, it did not show the sub folder items, but with sharepoint online list 1.0, I was able to expand column attributes and capture the Retention label.
Is this an ideal approach to use list 1.0 to capture the metadata?
What do you suggest. Please advise.
Thanks,
Pallavi

If it works, it works. The other connector that will have extended metadata is the OData connector - I have a tutorial on using that here if it helps: https://youtu.be/yeIQ9jKln_I
