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.
