When you go into List View then you only see one level at a time or at least that's what it looks like. I can move to the left with the left arrow to go up a level.

Then I can go down into another folder to get there. I can up and down and when I am over a folder like that Example Files I can go to the right and it moves the selection into that column. You can use the arrow keys for this as well. But wherever I start I can easily go down and then back up just by clicking on the folders that I see. I can use the Path Bar at the bottom or I can use Go, Enclosing Folder or Command Up to go up a level. Note that if I wanted to move up beyond the level that I started at, the left most column, I have to resort to the same techniques that I would use in iCloud View. So if I wanted to go from Project Alpha to Example Files it's easy to do that in Column View. You could see how easy it is to move into adjacent folders. So I can for instance click Project Alpha here to go into that folder. To move down all you need to do is click the folders. Now in Column View it's pretty easy to see how you can move up because you can simply click on an item here to the left. If I wanted to look to see what's inside the Some Files folder I could click that and you could see I get another column showing me what's in there. Then at this level I have the files that are inside Example Files. So here you could see in the left column at this level I'm in my Documents folder. However, if we switched to another view, let's say Column View, then things are a little different. If I go to Some Files the only way for me to get to the other folder is to go up and then go down into the this one. For instance I have More Files and Some Files. Now there's really no way to go sideways to an adjacent folder. So let's use the keyboard shortcut and you could see I can go from Example Files up to Documents. The keyboard shortcut is simply Common up arrow. If you look in the Go Menu it's called the Enclosing Folder. There's also a way to simply go up one level. If I want to go backup to Example Files I could simply double click on Example Files there and I'll go to that level. So if I go back down into Some Files here you could see iCloud Drive, Documents, Example Files, Some Files. When you do that at the bottom you'll see the path to where you are. Another way to do it is to go to View and then turn on the Path Bar. I can move up to anyone of these by simply selecting it and now you can see I've moved up to that level. Here I am in Some Files, which is inside the folder Example Files, which is inside the Documents Folder which is inside iCloud Drive.

One is you can hold the Command key down and click on the name at the top, in the Title Bar, and you could see the full hierarchy of all the folders. There are several different ways to go back up. In order to get there I would need to go back up.

You could see how now I've moved down a level into the Some Files folder but I could not longer see what's in the original file, Example Files. So if I want to navigate down into one of these folders I could simply double click it. I've got several files in there and a couple of folders.

I'm looking at a folder called Example Files. So, for instance, here I'm using Icon View. So when you're in a Finder window there are many ways to navigate around into folders that are in the current folder you are reviewing, up to the Enclosing folder, or sideways to other folders in the same folder you are at now.
