TL;DR: Some Notebooks belong to multiple Folders (if Folders are ideas/projects/etc.) – the current implementation doesn't allow for this.
At the moment, Notebooks are organized as though they are traditional files. In the sense that a file belongs to a singular directory and has no reference elsewhere.
In particular, I use GoodNotes for reading/annotating research papers – and many of these papers belong to different folders. For instance, say I have a class PSY 2170 and a project Deep Belief Networks – I may have a paper which was assigned by PSY 2170, yet actually turns out to be wholly relevant to Deep Belief Networks, so I would want to have it related to both as I would otherwise need to recall where I first encountered that paper.
Of course, this creates a problem for backing up to iCloud/Google Drive/etc. but I would imagine that in the worst case, the files could be duplicated into their appropriate hierarchies. I'm not exactly sure how GN would state/prevent external edits, but internally, I imagine the structure would be much more akin to a "dump all the files centrally and maintain a database with folders/tags to maintain the current mode of presentation to the user" – so that everything in GN __looks like it's part of a directory structure__ but behind the scenes, it's just an index of files with associated metadata that creates that structure.
It would be great if this were applied to tags as well – if GoodNotes implements them (https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/4329300-add-sub-folders-and-tags).
These other topics seem relevant/similar, but hopefully I've used more common words to increase visibility. 😅
