I just installed Kodi 17.6 on a new Raspberry Pi 3 and when I try to navigate to my Network Drive which I used to do via SMB, I can't navigate to it. I click on the button and it takes me to ".." When I click on the .. it returns me to the previous menu. Please not I had this working on a previous build on a Raspberry Pi 2 which has been upgraded to the latest release several times. I am trying to use the built in Kodi Backup software so I can restore the settings from my Raspberry Pi 2 to my Raspberry Pi 3. I also need to be able to navigate to where my video files are located, which are on the same Networked storage device.

What OS are you using to run Kodi 17.6? What OS are you using to share your Network Drive?

Newer versions of Kodi don't use the oldest version of SMB that allows you to browse the network. When you get the dialog box to browse, there should be something at the bottom that says ADD NETWORK LOCATION. You can add the SMB location by IP address (or probably SMB name) and then save it. After that you can browse that specific network device for shared folders and such.
