Show destination folder name/path for 'Share to Dropbox'

On a mobile device, when you Share > Add to Dropbox and it shows the "Choose upload location" window it would be very useful if it would show the current folder where the file will be added. Currently it just shows the contents of the current folder, so it is not always obvious what folder I am adding the file to. Showing the complete folder path would also be nice. I attached a screenshot of the current "Choose upload location" window.

Hi there gjbakkers - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.
Could you please clarify your device's OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app you're using?
Does tapping on the magnifying glass help at all perhaps?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
Hi Walter, thanks for the reply. My device is a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and it is running Android version 14. The version of my Dropbox mobile app is 402.2.4.
I tried clicking the magnifying glass, but that just shows a mostly blank screen with a "Search for folders" box at the top (see the following screenshot).

Yes, this would allow you to type the name of the folder you'd like and select it gjbakkers
Otherwise, you can go back by tapping on the (left hand side) arrow and reach your top-level folder section to navigate to your preferred folder.
Let me know if this would help achieve what you originally had in mind.
Walter,
No, this would not help me achieve what I originally had in mind. I do not want to search for a specific folder, I simply want to see the name of the folder that I am currently in when I Share > Add to Dropbox. It is a waste of time to have to click the left arrow to navigate up one or several folders just to see what folder I am currently in. It would be nice if the current folder name (or even the complete folder path) was shown on that screen.
