Here you can modify the menu as you choose by deleting icons you don’t want, and adding Shortcuts of the items you want. For example if you want that the folder ‘download’ to be right there in send to menu, just create a shortcut of ‘download’ in that just as shown below. And now my send to menu looks like this.
