You may add subfolders to folders that are writable by your account. This includes folders you've created, publicly writable folders, and folders that are writable by groups you belong to.

When you create a subfolder under a folder that someone else owns, be aware that the owner of the parent folder can remove your subfolder if he or she wants to.

To create a subfolder:

1. Visit the folder under which you want to create a subfolder, and click "Folder Options" in the folder title bar:

4. Specify the level of sharing for the subfolder:

   
   For a detailed explanation of sharing, see Creating a New Folder.
   

5. Click the "Create Subfolder" button to submit the form. The new subfolder will be created.
