Why do the "Copy to" and "Move to" context menu options in Nautilus only include "Home" and "Desktop" as options?

Is there a way to add other places and even mounted external devices as options?

11.10 onwards

Maybe this might work:

Nautilus scripts the bullets state, amongst others:

Move To... #selected files/folders to ... whereever you want. the script will check if you have write-permissions and if the file already exists

Copy To...

Pick the 2 scripts from the download link and just install those just to see if it works. It is fairly old but the way Nautilus works had not changed for as far as I know.
