I have been trying to get the filename of a file/folder which is located in my team drive.

I have tried with

Your code is good, so

  1. Check that you have the complete folder id. If you missed out some characters, it will not work.
  2. Check that you have at least viewing permission for the folder.

I successfully tested the following with a public folder:

SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert(
  "Folder name: " + 
  DriveApp.getFolderById('16EbJb18MXxnDrbc0OsMbOk4CBxrT1upM').getName()
);

The alert popped up in an open Google Sheets page.Screenshot

You could also replace SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert with Browser.msgBox
