there is no way to 'surf' to the correct /mark/notebooks, as there is no
cd.. place to click to go back to /mark and then to /mark/notebooks. When I
do the 'To import a notebook, drag the file onto the listing below or
*click here*' option, it only let's me 'upload' the selected notebook, which
means copying to the directory where I started ipython notebook.

One solution if you have folders in different locations would be to simlink
them (mklink /J in windows) into the notebook server directory
