You should login to alfresco share interface, click on Repository from the header. Then you will have an option to create Folder. You can create nested folders inside it and upload a content to it. This is the simplest way to manually create folders/content.
If you want to do it programmatically then simplest way would be to write a custom webscript to create folder structure as per your requirement.

Take a look at - http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/webscripts/tutorial/tutorial.html to get understanding and implementation details about creating custom webscript.

For your specific requirement, you can create an XML schema as shown in example below as per your required implementation.


<root>
<name>ABC</name>
<level1folder>
   <name>level1foldername</name>
   <level2folder>
         <name>level2foldername</name>
         <content1location>c:/folder1/folder2/image1.jpg</content1location>
         …..
         …..
     </level2folder>
     …..
…..
</root>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and in your java controller class, parse the XML and using either NodeService or FileFolderService create the nodes in alfresco.

Hope this helps.
