Scenario:
Nautilus files manager, now known as Files, provides quick access to some of the pre-defined directories in left sidebar. These directories/places include Home, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures mounted drives and network drives (if any). Suppose a situation where you want to add a new directory in it for quick access. Lets say Dropbox. If you have to access Dropbox, you’ll have to go to Home folder and then Dropbox folder.
In this tutorial (meant for absolute beginners), I’ll show you how to add bookmarks in Ubuntu 13.04 for quick access to any folder.
