Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

This is really tiny, but worth at least mentioning. When adding new Steam library folders, the only option is to click through the directory tree and find it. When adding external drives (which I do very frequently as I share a USB3 HDD between two devices) it is really annoying to have to navigate the whole path (usually /var/run/media/$USER/$LABEL).

On Windows, this is much easier since you have a dropdown of available drives, but here you're stuck navigating the root fs. Being able to simply type/paste the path into the box at the top of the dialog would make this much nicer of an experience (finding the mountpoint from a file browser and copying the path is like 2 clicks).
