Add new — domain.sharepoint.com/subfolder/

Question

I am trying to create a new site collection under our SharePoint Online tenant, and can't add a new subfolder. It only allows me to create a site collection in one of the following subfolders.

https://companydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/

https://companydomain.sharepoint.com/teams/

I was hoping to create these --

https://companydomain.sharepoint.com/external/

https://companydomain.sharepoint.com/internal/

Is that possible in SharePoint Online?

Answer 1

It's not possible in SharePoint Online.

This are called managed paths. And by default only sites and teams are available. You can't add new one.
