What I do instead is to drag a few folders to my dock and access their contents via a simple menu, or you can just put the Files application there.

elementary gets asked this a fair bit but they appear reluctant to add this dumping ground for documents, a decision which I personally support. Just because users have habits from other operating systems doesn't mean they need to be brought over, particularly if there are better solutions to the same problem.
