Virtual folder in Windows Explorer

hello is there a way to map a folder as a virtual folder on a same drive?

for example:

D:\folder1\
will have the same content as

D:\folder2\
and whenever i update [folder1], [folder2] will be updated and vice versa

i am an animator using 3dsmax
i get annoyed when 3dsmax asks for map folders when network rendering
so it will be great if there is a solution to this one

i am asking because there is this software call “GMail Drive shell extension” and this might be some of the same solution?

any help will be great!
