I think i found a solution to the problem by accident today!

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.

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
