How do I create a note that can exist in more than one folder and is synchronized?

As Obsidian notes are just .md files in your file system, you can of course have a note of the same name in multiple places, but they are different files/notes on disk. e.g. two separate mynote.md files:

.
└── Vault/
    ├── X-folder/
    │   └── mynote.md
    └── Y-folder/
        └── mynote.md

Symlinks are an option if you are brave, but you make those outside of Obsidian and →

We strongly advise against using symbolic links.

Jumping off of what rigmarole suggested, you could try embedding a note in another note. Here I have named the notes differently, but the content shown will be 99% the same (in Live Preview and Reading view).

The Galactica note only has this written in it:

[[Galactica.actual]]

![[Galactica.actual]]

The first link is for easy use of the popup Page Preview, and the second link with the ! is the embed. You can use CSS to remove the vertical left border, etc., if you’d like.
