excel - How to autosave by creating new folder in filepath

Question

Based on codes I found on the website, I have created a macro to export a sheet from an Excel workbook as a PDF attached to an email. Based on other code I managed to create an autosave to a folder, but the save is hardcoded now. See the code below, I have 3 questions about the code.

1. Now the save location is hardcoded into the macro. How can I adjust the macro to use the location where I open the file from as autosave location? I mainly need this to be dynamic, because we would copy this file into a new folder month, it cannot be hardcoded.
2. I would like the macro to check if a separate folder exists in the save location, and if not create a folder for it. So basically, I would open the file from the folder C:User:CompanyDrive:Client:January2020, I would like the macro to check if this folder includes another folder like C:User:CompanyDrive:Client:January2020:Individual Exports, and if it doesn't exist, to create one.
3. Is there a way to avoid using the SharePoint path when saving? We use the company OneDrive/SharePoint local sync to open documents, but it automatically converts to the SharePoint document and tries to save to SharePoint. However, we get a failed upload all the time, so I was wondering how we can avoid that?

Thanks in advance!

See code below:

Dim xYesorNo As Integer
Dim xOutlookObj As Object
Dim xEmailObj As Object

Dim folderPath As String

folderPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path
myPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName

Set xSht = ActiveSheet
xPath = "C:User:CompanyDrive:Client:January2020:Individual Exports" 'here "Individual Exports" is the destination folder to save the pdf files
xFolder = xPath + "" + NameOfWorkbook + " " + xSht.Name + ".pdf"
If Len(Dir(xFolder)) > 0 Then
    xYesorNo = MsgBox(xFolder & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", _
                      vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")
    On Error Resume Next

        Exit Sub
    End If
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then

Answer 1

  folderPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path
  myPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName

  Set xSht = ActiveSheet

  '1. use the location where I open the file from as autosave location
  xFolder = folderPath + "" + NameOfWorkbook + " " + xSht.Name + ".pdf"
  '2. create folder in save location if it doesn't exist
  Const SubFolder = "Individual Exports"
  Dim sPath As String
  sPath = folderPath & Application.PathSeparator & SubFolder
  If Len(Dir(sPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
    MkDir sPath
  End If
