In Windows 8.1 there is SkyDrive showing in the save dialog.

enter image description here

How do I make my Dropbox folder show here for easy access? I noticed that these elements are the main groups on the left in This PC window.

Add dropbox to your places bar. HowToGeek shows how you can accomplish this through the registry, or even using a Placesbar Editor.

This way it goes quite down in the list because dr is not the first in alphabets. – MikkoP – 2013-12-20T19:29:49.090

Change the View Settings to a list view. – nonterrorist – 2013-12-20T19:59:46.183

That doesn't change it. Those that are showing in the picture in my question are still first, followed by folders and the files in alphabetical order (including shortcuts). – MikkoP – 2013-12-20T20:50:51.123

1@nonterrorist Changing the registry works great. The "Placesbar editor" works even easier. You'll have 5 spots to fill the bar but i guess if you use Dropbox enough you can loose "Network" or "Recent places". You might want to consider putting this in your answer because i don't think there is another possibility (if you want it in the left-bar). – Rik – 2013-12-20T23:29:31.083

Just add Dropbox as a library. Takes 30 seconds and is much easier than the registry solution. Instrutions here: http://www.ghacks.net/2011/12/07/add-dropbox-as-a-library-to-windows-7/ (works the same way for Win 8)
