To make a new folder, first open the drive and then open the folder where the 
new one will be created, if you don't want it on the root folder. Press command 
shift n, this will place you in a text box where you can give the folder a 
name, untitled is already there, just erase that and type the name you want, 
then press enter. You will be back in your list of files and folders, and the 
new folder will be there.
