How to create a new folder
#1
I would like to know how to create a new folder. Currently I have one folder and I am able to create subfolders, however I have no idea how to create a new folder. It's a new software for me and I am not familiar with it therefore thank for any help!

I'm not sure to understand your problem but:
The root folder is UNIQUE. You can create a hierarchy of desired complexity of subfolder inside it using the command "add subfolder".
The structure is similar to a standard filesystem (a real one, don't think to windows virtual directories).

Yes I know that i can "add subfolder" however I would like to create several root folders. I would like to avoid this situation:

FOLDER
- subfolder1/ subfolder
-subfolder2/ subfolder

I would like to have it like that:
FOLDER
- subfolder
FOLDER
-subfolder,

I hope You understand what I', trying to saySmile

Yes, you CAN'T!
Is like a unix filesystem: the root is one and only one.

Answer this question:
supposing to have your second case: in wich folder are you to see the listed the two main folders?

(answer correctly let you understad why there's ony one root)

Here are the two perspectives you can think of it from:

Windows:
In a traditional sense the root folder would be similar to your hard drive (C:\). If you want to store files they can either be stored on the root (C:\somefile.txt) or you can create a folder to store it (C:\someFolder\somefile.txt).

Unix:
Here just think of the root directory as actually being just slash (/), everything exists under slash but there is nothing above it. So same example you could store files under the root (/somefile.txt) or you just create folders to do it (/home/someUserFolder/someFile.txt).

Hopefully this makes sense to you, what you are asking does not make sense because the functionality is already there.

Thank You, I understand nowSmile Lets say I wanted to create hard disc C: and D:, however as You pointed it out, it's useless to create D:, because actually everything You can find at C:/

sorry for missunderstandingSmile
best regards
