I can't seem to "find" the path to this parent folder on my phone.
The first image is what Windows Explorer says my phone memory looks like.
The second image is what Total Commander says my phone memory looks like.
I have tried many combinations "Internal shared storage", with and without "storage", "0", "emulated", etc.

Please clarify. Do You need to create folder programmatically? You need to get list of folders on internal memory?

Yes, I want to create a folder. If it is in the parent folder in the first image I can drag and drop files with Windows. For example, if the new folder is "Marque" I would hope to find it between "fonts" and "Movies" in the first image. Then I could drag and drop files from windows and the phone.

Try this:
File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File directory = new File(sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + YOUR_DIR_NAME);
boolean dirOk = directory.mkdirs();
if (dirOk)
// dir created successfully
else
//dir create failed
In the manifest add:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
