Just tried and made a "New folder" using the app and it worked, of course that new folder is also showing up on the desktop folders under OneDrive.
I also just made another one inside an existing folder.
OneDrive is cloud storage (I know you know that).
As far as I can see you can have any directory structure inside OneDrive that you want, how you see it will always be the same whether on the new app or the desktop folder structure, it's just another way of looking at OneDrive, what you choose to sync using the desktop structure is controllable, just go into this PC and right click on OneDrive and you can choose what folders to sync.
EDIT:
Just had a look and although you can choose what folders to sync, it appears that this only applies to folders in the root of OneDrive, if for example you have OneDrive with six folders, you can choose to Sync any or none of them, but subfolders take on whatever you have chosen for the root folders.
So lets say you have a folder called Pictures, and you create a subfolder like I have called Nikon, and folder Pictures is set to Sync, then all stuff inside Nikon will also sync.
To solve this if it is a problem, create a the new folder in the root called Nikon and set it not to Sync.
