Do you have a tutorial or a link to make the proxy folder possible ?
I have more faith in you than google to help me find a simple solution especially suited
Calling it a proxy folder makes it sound much more complicated than it is. All you need to do is create a folder somewhere (I use my desktop) that will eventually contain an identical copy of what you want on your device. I called it a "proxy" because from calibre's point of view it is the device, but from your point of view it is a stand-in (proxy) for the device.

Quick instructions:
  1. Create the folder on the computer running calibre wherever you want it. This is the "proxy" folder. You do this only once.
  2. In calibre, use "connect to folder" to use the folder you created as a device.
  3. Send books etc to this folder using a naming template that results in the names you want on the device.
  4. When you are finished, in calibre disconnect from the folder.
  5. Use a file sync tool like Free File Sync to "mirror" the connected-to folder onto your device in the appropriate place. The choice of "mirror" means that the copy program will make the destination (your device) look exactly like the source (the connected-to folder), deleting, adding, and replacing files as necessary.

The wikipedia article Comparison of file synchronization software might help you find sync software that you like.
