Can't find system folder listed in Nautilus

I can longer see the system folder listed to the left pane in Nautilus (Files). Is it integrated into the top bar somehow?

When I click on Network which is new, I can see where connecting to another server is located, But how do I get to my system folders, like /etc now?

Okay, I found it by typing ‘/’ in the address bar.

You can use the shortcut Ctrl+L too for the address bar. GNOME devs were so kind added the clicking ability a short while ago.

If you enter admin:/ you can edit stuff as root but with more granularity and thus security

On the left side of Files, there are three blocks (top,middle,bottom).
The middle block are the bookmarks, you can move folders there and move them over “new bookmark link” to create a new bookmark with the folder.

Or simply open the folder or / move mouse to the middle block and press
Ctrl & d to get a new bookmark.

To make it permanent type-able use:
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
