How to create inSync Share shortcut under Quick Links on Windows 10?

OS: Windows 10
Product edition: inSync Cloud and On-Premises

 

Overview

In Windows 10, Microsoft has changed the behavior of the Favorites section in the left pane with respect to the earlier versions. Quick Access is introduced to which users can pin any folder. Windows puts recently accessed files and folders into Quick Access, except media files such as music and videos. 

inSync currently does not automatically create a shortcut under Quick links due to the restrictions imposed by the operating system design.
