Thanks christinepayton. I am requesting a sandbox for testing.
I'm suggesting if you want to check out features of a document library or pages, that you do so in a sandbox site. That way you don't have to worry about people stumbling on things you're fiddling with when they are looking for real content. It's just a personal preference.
I'm unsure what you mean by communication pages making OneDrive folders - communication sites do not exist in OneDrive and are unrelated other than both being SharePoint sites. Typically pages libraries do not use folders, but they can be enabled there.
OneDrive is your personal document library/site. You would not be able to create an additional library in OneDrive, but you could create one in a SharePoint site if you had permission in one. SharePoint sites can hold thousands of document libraries.
