See Question&Answers more detail:osTL;DR Use /
in the file name field to create folder(s), e.g. typing folder1/file1

Original answer
You cannot create an empty folder and then add files to that folder, but rather creation of a folder must happen together with adding of at least a single file. This is because git doesn't track empty folders.
On GitHub you can do it this way:
/
. This creates a folder.gitkeep
which is conventionally used to make Git track otherwise empty folders; it is not a Git feature though)
