Syncthing-android: "Save to Syncthing" subfolder can't be changed once set.

Created on 31 Jan 2020 · 3Comments · Source: syncthing/syncthing-android

I tried to save a backup file from another app to Syncthing, I chose a folder, I chose a subfolder by pressing browse and navigating to it. Everything was fine.
The second time I tried to do this I found no way to move up from the previously selected subfolder after pressing browse.

Version Information

App Version: 1.3.3
Syncthing Version: v1.3.3
Android Version: Android 9

I think this may be a UI issue that confused me as well. The back button on the navigation bar (usually at bottom of screen, with back, home and recent apps buttons) takes you one subfolder up, whereas the back button of the file browser for "Save to Syncthing" (upper left corner) takes you out of the file browser.

It would make more sense to me if these two functionalities were swapped.

Just ran into the same issue, already started to file an issue assuming it was a bug. Only realized the back back button does the trick when reading through this thread, seems non-intuitive.

Same confusing situation observed here! I had to find this thread to understand what was happening. The back button is supposed to take you to the previous screen or page on most Android apps.
