          in your home folder, inside .config theres a file called user-dirs.dirs, just edit that file to your liking. Heres a copy of mine



          XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
          XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
          XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
          XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
          XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
          XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
          XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
          XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

            Another method besides what @christian mentioned that does not require config file edit is to add the folder as a bookmark:




            • Step into the folder you would like to add

            • Bookmarks -> Add Bookmark


            After you added a folder to the bookmarks, you will be able to drag-and-drop additional folders by dropping them on the Bookmark label.
