I have an existing workspace that I have been using and everything has been working as expected.
Now I am beginning a new project and would like to change my workspace root so that the files will be located in a different directory, for example, C:/NewProject.
I have made the /NewProject folder and added files to it, which I can see in my workspace view.
When I try to Mark for Add... I get a warning c:\NewProject\FileName - file(s) not in client view
How can I add these files to my depot? Or to the client view so that I may successfully add them?

The p4 client command puts the client spec into a temporary file and invokes the editor configured by the environment variable P4EDITOR . For new workspaces, the client name defaults to the P4CLIENT environment variable, if set, or to the current host name. Saving the file creates or modifies the client spec.
The "can't clobber writable file" error happens because Perforce is very cautious about accidentally overwriting ("clobbering") work that you've done in your workspace.
Your Perforce client spec defines your workspace location, the depot files you plan to work with, and their location in your workspace when you invoke Perforce commands.
You can edit your client view through Connection -> Edit Current Workspace in the View tab (or something similar; I'm on a p4 client from 2011). If you're working in a relatively small depot, you might as well just include //depot/... in your view.

Usually after installing Perforce to a new computer, when you try to sync Depot files the system gives sync error message "File(s) not in client view". Here is the solution:

After struggling with it for hours, I finally sort it out. It's very simple, just Add your folder name to the mapping. My situation is the folder name is not the same as the workspace name "deport".
(Auto-generated for you in the Workspace Mappings)
//depot/... //alice_1545/depot/...
So all you need to do is add your folder name into the Workspace Mappings.
//depot/... //alice_1545/depot/...
//depot/... //alice_1545/{your folder name}/...
