Moving files: default destination should be current folder, not root!

Imagine I want to move files nested 10 levels under root. I navigate down, I select them, I press Move.

Now the android app is showing me the root folder, why?

99% of the time I want to move files somewhere near their original location.

With your design I once again have to drill down 10 levels under root to find the destination for my files.

Such a bad UX, fix it.

    Hey tilusnet - thanks for the feedback on this.

    I've already passed it on to the team (as mentioned here) and you can let us know if you have anything else to add.

    In the meantime, you can try the search option to find your target folder when moving your files in the Dropbox mobile app on your Android device(s). 

    Hope this helps!
