Hi Walter, that does help, thank you! I never used that magnifying glass because I always associate such an icon with looking for specific files, not folders. I will try that.
But still, in my opinion (from using other similar apps), it's unusual to present to a user a folder and its contents without telling what folder they are looking at. A similar "photo share" in Google Drive at least shows you the destination folder name right away--though it doesn't show you the file path -- screenshot below. And I've also grown accustomed to seeing the folder name because that's the behavior of Windows apps on my PC. Whenever I use an app and click "Save" in that app (most apps), the Windows Explorer pops up and immediately shows me the last folder name I save to (in that app). So, it's surprising to me that Dropbox doesn't show a folder name when something is shared. But again thank you for showing me the magnifying glass functionality. 🙂
