How to get a list of files from all sub-subfolders in all subfolders?

I have a folder with several subfolders. Each subfolder has several sub-subfolders, and each sub-subfolder has several files, like so

folder
|____subfolder1
     |_________sub-subfolder1
     |         |______________file1
     |         |______________file2
     |         |______________file3
     |_________sub_folder2
     |         |______________file4
     |         |______________file5
     |         |______________fileN
     subfolder2
     |_________sub-subfolder2
     |
     etc

I know to get the files from a subfolder I can do 

dir /s/b/o:gn

However, in this case this gives me sub-subfolder1 and sub-subfolder2. I want to get file1, file2, file3, file4, etc.

How can I do this?

This will give you the full path to the filenames
- launch it in folder or add "c:\path\folder" after the /r 

@echo off
for /r %%a in (*) do echo %%a

try this:

dir /s/b/o:gn | sort

Expected result:

folder
folder\subfolder1
folder\subfolder1\sub-subfolder1
folder\subfolder1\sub-subfolder1\file1
folder\subfolder1\sub-subfolder1\file2
folder\subfolder1\sub-subfolder1\file3

folder\subfolder1\sub-subfolder2
folder\subfolder1\sub-subfolder1\file4

Just in-case I am missing your question, you could also specify the sub-folder:

dir c:\folder\subfolder1 /s/b/o:gn | sort
