Creating a folder under an existing folder
You can apply the same method as for the creation of a folder under My Drive, except that you select the existing folder, instead of selecting My Drive.

There is another method though, using a contextual menu attached to the folder name:

  1. Mouse your folder name (Test here) in the left pane: Test is highlighted in grey, and a small triangle shows up, pointed downward;
  2. Click on the small triangle, and a popup contextual menu will show up:

Observe that focus has switched from wataproof folder (wataproof now in black) to Test folder; select (and click on) New folder... entry from the Test folder popup contextual menu. The contextual menu will disappear, and leave room to a popup window for naming your folder

  1. Type your new folder name (Test Sub here) in the text area;
  2. Click on the  Create  button to validate the creation of your Test Sub folder under Test folder.
You can now find your new Test Sub folder and further browse:
