Is it possible to use the find command in some way that it will not recurse into the sub-directories? For example,

DirsRoot
  |-->SubDir1
  |    |-OtherFile1
  |-->SubDir2
  |    |-OtherFile2
  |-File1
  |-File2

And the result of something like find DirsRoot --do-not-recurse -type f will be only File1, File2?

Yes it is possible by using -maxdepth option in find command

find /DirsRoot/* -maxdepth 1 -type f

From the manual

man find

-maxdepth levels

Descend at most levels (a non-negative integer) levels of directories below the starting-points.

-maxdepth 0

means only apply the tests and actions to the starting-points themselves.
