How to create my folder for ISO & Backup

[WhiteTiger]

I apologize, but I am now starting to work with Proxmox and even the Administration Guide does not help me.

In addition to the RAID10 disks I have an additional 700GB disk.
I would like to create a backup folder here, a folder for the ISO and another for my tools.
But I don't find anything in the GUI to be able to create them. Should I do them with commands in the shell?
The usual Debian commands to create the physical disk, the LVM Group, the Logical Volumes, the File System and finally the folders?
Then how can I access these? I should have them under some mount point.

I see these are on the Boot SSD.
Can I use mine or do I have to move these to my disk? Still with commands in the shell?
But isn't there some guide for what are usual operations?

You want to create a directory storage on that disk. OFC, you will need to prepare the disk with an FS. But once the storage is configured, the directories will be created automatically.

OK thanks.
I was hoping to use LVM and still use the GUI.
But I didn't understand: first I have to prepare the disk with fdisk and only then from the GUI identify it as Directory?

=== Update
I tried to create the Directory with ext4 and it gave me this error:

command '/sbin/sgdisk -n1 -t1:8300 /dev/sdg' failed: exit code 3

and this output:

# /sbin/sgdisk -n1 -t1:8300 /dev/sdg

Create a filesystem on the disk through the CLI and add it as an directory storage to PVE.

Done! Thanks.
Now I have a 600GB HDD as Directory (not as Storage).
But I still haven't figured out how to create folders.
In the GUI I don't see options, while if from the schell I type

mkdir /dev/sdg/sdg1/tools

the error returns

mkdir: cannot create directory '/dev/sdg/tools': Not a directory

After that I still can't find a guide to move ISO and Backup folders from SSD to this disk.
