Hi BigDNC, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The behavior you're describing is related to how Windows Explorer navigates files, and not Dropbox-related.
When you click the Back button in Explorer, it returns you to the last folder you accessed, and not the folder directly above in the folder tree.
This means if you're already viewing C:\Windows, and then you search for a folder in your navigation tree on the left in Explorer, and go 4 subfolders deep, such as C:\Dropbox\John\Meetings\2024, and access it to view the files there, when you press the Back button, it'll return you to C:\Windows.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
