Description

If I use Ctrl-P ("Go to directory") fman doesn't navigate to Dropbox-folder. It looks like this:
fman dont navigate to Dropbox folders

Then I try to navigate to a Dropbox-folders or subfolders, nothing happens.

It is no problem to go the Dropbox-folder if I go there manually by using Enter and Backspace.

Software:
fman: 1.7.3
Windows 10 Pro: 20H2, 19042.1165

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Ctrl-P “Go to directory” flow in fman 1.7.3 on Windows 10, using Dropbox folders and subfolders, then compare it with manual navigation using Enter and Backspace. Done means Ctrl-P navigates to both Dropbox folders and their subfolders.
