 * Hi,
 * Should I expect problems if some subfolders in the structure have the same name
   while having different parent folders ? Or should any folder or subfolder name
   be globally unique ?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@samoreen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samoreen/) !
 * Thanks for your question.
 * No, there shouldn’t be any problem as Real Media Library always restricts to 
   have the same folder name within the same parent. If you have two folders with
   the same name but different parents, that’s totally OK!
 * Best regards,
    Matthew 🙂
