Office 365 - Secondary Hierarchy Public Folder
gilb380 the secondary hierarchy is not a second set of public folders. There can be only one root.
I’m pretty sure that the secondary hierarchy is a replica meant for scalability. It’s also read only. It contains both hierarchy and content from the first public folder mailbox.
That’s why you can’t see another set of public folders.

gilb380 If you have 100 users accessing a public folder, a replica probably is not so helpful.
However, if the public folder is all contained in a single mailbox and you have 10,000 users that constantly need access, a single mailbox may not allow such a huge demand.
A secondary mailbox has a replica of the original data. When users need to open and read data, one or more replicas can serve the data.
