On-Premise 2016 Plug-In Creating Folders and Sub-Folders in SharePoint site

I have a requirement for a plugin that will create folders or sub-folders within a SharePoint Library when a records are created.

I can create the root folder with this code - works wonderfully....

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List docs = web.Lists.GetByTitle("Shared Documents");

FolderCollection folderColl = docs.RootFolder.Folders;

Folder newFolder = folderColl.Add("FolderLevel1");
web.Context.Load(newFolder);
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();

I am having trouble creating folders under FolderLevel1- When I am on a child entity of the FolderLevel1 I want to create the sub-folder thus in Shared Documents I have FolderLevel1 already existing and I need to add a sub folder FolderLevel2.

I'm unsure how to "find" FolderLeve11 so that I can do an add of the sub-folder. Google is showing examples of building all folders at the same time. In my case I am only creating the sub-folder.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Diane

You need to use something like:

SPFolderCollection folders = site.GetFolder(url).SubFolders;

folders.Add("SubFolder");
