No longer able to choose upload folder from Android
In version 14.2.2 of the Android app, and probably already in the previos one, on Galaxy Nexus, when I try to upload to Dropbox from any location (gallery, Camscan, etc.), I can no longer choose the target folder: Dropbox gives me the first folder I used after reinstall, and I can only create a new subfolder (or canel uploading), but not navigate the folder tree and choose the folder for upload. It wasn't like that in the previous versions.
This is so annoying! Please help
I think i found a solution to the problem by accident today!
When I press the Android stock Back button, it will automatically go back to the previous parent folder!
I am using Nexus 6P.

I think the reason why many people are having trouble with this is that the back button only works the second time.
So after a period of not using the Dropbox app, the sequence of actions is:
- Go to the app that you want to share from, for example the Gallery, and select the items you want to share.
- Click Share -> Add to Dropbox
- Find yourself in the last used subfolder
- Press the Android Back button
- This will take you back to the Gallery
- Click Share -> Add to Dropbox a second time
- Find yourself in the last used subfolder again
- Press the Android Back button again
- This time it will go to the parent folder
