Nothing out of the box , but you can try to mimic this behavior by using galleries on multiple screens. I just gave a try from my end.
First Gallery To display all parentfolder. Below goes in items of gallery1
Filter(YourDocumentLibrary,'Folder path'="YourDocumentLibrary/")
Other gallery to display child folder. Item of galllery2
Filter(YourDocumentLibrary,StartsWith('Full Path',Gallery1.Selected.'Full Path'&"/"))
you can add more galleries to drill down further

@BhaskarDhone My only issue is that when I build the first gallery it is display absolutely everything, folders, subfolders, files which makes it hard to navigate. I can't figure out how to make it only show the parent folders and then let people navigate from there.

Add one more filter to check if its folder or file. For getting only parent 'Folder path' filter will help you

Filter(Samm,IsFolder = true, 'Folder path'="Samm/")

The filter does not seem to Navigate Beyond 3 subfolders,
for example, the below retrieves perfectly . But I add another Navigation it does not display but returns empty
Filter (Documents,IsFolder = true, 'Folder path'="Shared Documents/IMU folder for 2023/Information Management/")
