Try not calling clientContext.Load, for example this works for me:
var folder = list.RootFolder;
clientContext.Load(folder);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
folder = folder.Folders.Add("Folder 1");
folder.Folders.Add("Folder 2");
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

This took forever to figure out, but of course it is simple once you got it.
Instead of pasting a bunch of code, here is the context and then the raw HTTP POST request that I ended up with.

I solved this by using a CamlQuery directly after creation to return folders with the same name as a ListItemCollection:

Run this code. I have taken "filename" as a folder - you can replace it with any folder name that you want.
ClientContext cxt = new ClientContext("http://win-8c97ll22qqc:100/sites/dev");
List list = cxt.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Documents");
cxt.Load(list);
cxt.Load(list.RootFolder);
cxt.Load(list.RootFolder.Folders);

I know this is an old thread, but after spending a good while looking about I found an OOTB SharePoint Designer 2010 solution for this problem.
To move a document to a different folder
create an SPD2010 workflow and use the Update Item action to change the path and name of the document.
After inserting the update list item action click on the "this list" ...

Not to resurrect an old thread but I thought I would add my regex. One issue from KB905231 it is not clear if the prohibited file suffixes (i.e. .files or _files, etc.) are including or excluding the file extension. I assumed including so foo.doc.files would not match but foo.files.doc would.

Recently I answered a very similar question here. If you need all of the folders and subfolders (but no documents) recursively from a document library, that is what you should use (send it via POST to the server due to GetItems method call):
/_api/web/Lists/GetByTitle('Title of your doc. lib.')/GetItems(query=@v1)?$expand=Folder&$select=Title,Folder/...

How about something like this:
public static Folder EnsureFolder(ClientContext ctx, Folder ParentFolder, string FolderPath)
{
//Split up the incoming path so we have the first element as the a new sub-folder name
//and add it to ParentFolder folders collection
string[] PathElements = FolderPath.Split(new char[] { '/' }, ...

I added the recursive scope to the query and had success:
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Folder = fldr;
//Recursive Scope....
query.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"Recursive\"";
SPListItemCollection allitems = list.GetItems(query);
int filecount = allitems.Count;
Are there any better solutions?

The objects you get from $list.Folders are SPListItems not SPFolders so the ListItems property gives the Lists ListItemCollection not something for the folder.
To get the SPFolder you have to access $folder.Folder.
If what you're working with is a document library, then it's easy just access $folder.Folder.Files and you'll get the files in the SPFolder, ...

SharePoint contains a hidden Site Column called ItemChildCount. This Site Column stores the calculated number of child items that the folder contains.
Note: It does not include the number of subfolders in this count nor
does it work recursively and pick up the item counts of subfolders
To add the Item Child Count, edit the desired view on your ...

I found the solution myself and thought I would share the solution in case someone else encounters a similar challenge.
By using the "Update Item" functionality in SPD you can assign the name of the folder to which you would like to move the document in the "Path and Name" field, simply by adding the foldername before the name of the file. (e.g. in my ...

You most likely mean a folder inside a document library, because you cannot add a folder to a site that is available for end-users. In order to add a folder inside a document library, you need to open up the ability to add a folder to the document library.
Go to the document library where you want to add a folder
Go to the Library Settings

here is the Create folder command:
New-Item "C:\Shared" –type directory
If you are creating multiple levels at once (like "C:\NewRootFolder\NewChildFolder\NewShared" you can add the –force switch to make it create all necessary parent folders in the heirarchy)
Now that you have a folder that you want to share, you can turn it into a shared folder using ...

Folders are items as well. Just get the item and load the folder property.

var list = ctx.Site.RootWeb.Lists.GetByTitle(Constants.Lists.Event.Name);
var item = list.GetItemById(eventId);
ctx.Load(list, d => d.Title, d => d.RootFolder.Name, d => d.Id);

You can check if your item content type inherits from DocumentSet base content type that is 0x0120D520.
Using C#:
listItem.ContentTypeId.IsChildOf(new SPContentTypeId("0x0120D520"))
or
listItem.ContentTypeId.ToString().StartsWith("0x0120D520")

For SPQuery, use SPQuery.Folder to define the folder:
SPFolder folder = list.RootFolder.SubFolders["Folder 1"];

Then, to define content type, you should include the following condition into your Where clause:
SPContentType contentType = list.ContentTypes["MyContentType"];

Sure, SP.Web object in SharePoint 2013/Online exposes the following methods:

You have to expand folder with $expand=Folder property and use ItemCount property of the folder like this:
