how to add an directory to "Places" list

Question

I have directory where it is placed in a deep path. so I want to put that in here: enter image description here How I can do that?

The way I would of done this would of been to edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs - but that doesn't work, and apparently won't work — Wilf, Jul 13 '14 at 22:00

By drag-and-drop

I'm not sure which file manager you use. I use thunar, and there I can just drag and drop folders into the side bar.

Using ln -s

If that does not work out, use the simple ln -s /your/long/path/name/here ~/shortname to create a soft link. It won't show in the side bar, but should be easy to reach via the home folder.
