How to add Dropbox to Nautilus left bar

I use Dropbox a lot, so I would like a way to add its folder to Nautilus' left bar.

As far as I know, we can add the folder Dropbox to bookmarks, but I would like it to be at the top, near Downloads and Images folder.

So the question is: How to add Dropbox to Nautilus' left bar, near Download and Images folders?

If you use Dropbox a lot, it may be used as your default Documents folder.

You can change _XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR_ to point it to Dropbox:

Edit your ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and change the line to:

XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Dropbox"

Restart your session, and check it:
