Hey officeemployee205,
Was doing a little research myself, as I've been noticing same problem with my account. All started with the newer preview feature, in browser (I'm using Chrome) that's been around for a month or two now.
Then today, just after reading about your experience, I stumbled upon a workaround — if I close the left sidebar, using the "X" [close sidebar button], it automatically takes me to the nested folder location, still within browser at this point — but I'm now able to see the path to my familiar structure, which is the same as my in-finder structure.
At that point, I was able to click the three dot button, but now the "open in" menu is finally once-again including "finder" as an option. Hopefully you have same the luck.
