Lightroom Version Number
Lightroom Classic version: 10.4 [ 202108071231-af9219b9 ]
Operating System
  1. macOS 10.15 Catalina
I set location to /Volumes/Thor/from mobile (a top-level folder on external drive Thor) and chose to "Use subfolders formatted by captured date".
I synced 2 images from the same date, and in Lightroom's folders panel I get a folder named "2021-08-08 - from mobile/2021-08-08".
The other top-level folder in drive Thor, named "My photos" now becomes "My photos - My photos" as well. Sub-level folder names seem unaffected (for now).
In the folder system the two top folders have kept their normal name ("My Photos" and "from mobile").
Now I'm afraid to sync anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That’s just a view setting in the Lightroom folder panel. Click on the plus icon to change it.
