Two ways to do this: graphically or by editing .gtk-bookmarks

Graphically:
Open a file browser window and browse to the folder containing the folder you want a shortcut to.

e.g. for /1storage, browse to / (File System). For /home/Pictures/dancingbunnies, browse to /home/Pictures

Select the folder you want a shortcut to and drag it to the shortcuts panel (bottom half of the left panel). Next time you go to the files and folders menu you will see your shortcut there.

Alternatively, edit ~/.gtk-bookmarks to include the path to the folder you want prefixed by file://
Use your favourite text editor for this, or in a terminal, type:

echo "file:///1storage" >> ~/.gtk-bookmarks

Hope this helps!
