Hi sorry for the delay. Here's some screenshots to show more details about what I'm talking about.
Background: It's been several days since I last uploaded a photo to Dropbox. So I have no idea of the last upload destination folder I last used. So here we go with a new upload:
#1: I have the image displayed in Gallery and I click the share icon.
#2: Android asks me how do I want to share it, and I choose Dropbox
#3: Dropbox opens the destination folder -- but it's the same folder I used days ago. There's no indication of what the folder name is, nor where in the folder tree I'm being asked to save the image in. So I have to think, "I don't recall the last folder I used since it was days ago. So I'd better go up a folder level to see where I am at." I do that and the folder name is not sufficient to really let me know where I am in the folder tree. So I go up a few more folder levels. Finally I know where I am in the folder tree. So I drill down to today's desired destination folder and then complete the upload. I wouldn't have had to do this if the first destination folder Dropbox displayed to me, showed the folder name and (somehow) where I am in the folder tree. I know that BOX shows a folder path like: Box > All files > Financial > Shopping > Coupons
