SharePoint Webpart Quick Links

I have just noticed the same problem. I am certain it used to be possible to create quick links to document libraries. I cannot imagine what the rationale for removing this could be as it makes so much sense to be able to link to libraries at the site collection level. Has this been removed by design? What is the alternative other than copying and pasting links, which I was hoping Microsoft was moving away from in its effort to make page design more universally usable.

Thanks,

Maurits Knoppert Was this ever fixed?
I was able to use quick links to folders 2 days ago and now it's greyed out. Did anyone find a solution?

  I'm also having the exact same issue. As of yesterday (3/10) I was able to create quicklinks to folders and different file types (.zip, ect) all through the web part UI.
  
  Really hoping this functionality gets restored, as most of the responses I have seen tend to run along the lines of "linking to folders has never been possible" which is patently false.

    MMyers2320 Agreed. This was possible a few days ago and it's still greyed out.
    It's true that it still works by using the 'from a link' function but when you need to do this for a lot of sites, the task becomes much more time-consuming. Hopefully they will fix this bug soon.
