No longer able to choose upload folder from Android

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

Worked for me too. I had queried DB support and the tech person didn't know that, just told me the app doesn't support 3d party apps. 

Thank you, this is a major piece of functionality of the app!

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
