I configured the device in Calibre so it creates subfolders...
Did you upgrade to Calibre 8+? If so, the update disabled the KoboTouch Extended driver since it's functionality is now part of the stock KoboTouch driver. However, the configuration from the KoboTouch extended driver is not transferred over and you will need to re-do it.

I use the following template in the KoboTouch configuration as the Save template:

Code:
eBooks/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}
Basically, eBooks is in the root of the exposed storage, subdirectories based on the first entry in the author sort list are created and the ebooks are saved with a filename title - author where author is the first entry in the authors list.

I.e. The ebook Goth Drow Unleashed Omnibus by Martha Carr & Michael Anderle would show up in the physical storage as:

eBooks/Carr, Martha/Goth Drow Unleashed Omnibus - Martha Carr.kepub.epub

The reason for truncating the author sort & author entries is simply that the Kobo metadata gets the full information and it shortens the filenames & paths. Especially useful when you get an anthology such as The Big Book of Science Fiction with it's 104 authors and 2 editors.
