Folders are used to sort your content.  By default, the Content library has one folder called Media & Templates.  This is the root level for each library.  Creating folders is completely optional and there are no hard rules to follow.  You can create folders based on project names, tasks, content types (images, videos, templates, etc…).

Folders can have any number of sub-folders.  In the example below, we have a folder called Templates with a series of sub-folders for content in various languages.
