I had the same question. After digging a lot, I found File Explorer keyboard shortcuts every Windows 10 user should know.
They point out that once File Explorer is open, F6 will jump your focus from the menu bar to the navigation pane to the file pane. – I personally can't get to the menu bar with F6, but after repeated presses, the navigation pane is focused.
I figured out on my own that once in the navigation pane, the Home key will take you to the top. Ta-da! quick access. Then using your arrow keys will take you to the folder you want.
tldr; F6 repeatedly until nav pane is focused, +Home key = quick access.
For me, Shift + Tab works best from what I found.
Alt-D
This is a very straightforward question, but just providing the keystrokes makes the answer too short for SuperUser to accept. So, I will add this additional text, to make the answer acceptable. I may as well also provide this hyperlink: TechNet: Navigate Windows Explorer More Quickly with These Keyboard Shortcuts.

@MátéJuhász I went into Windows 10, and looked in Explorer for something called "Quick Access", and found that was in the address bar. So I was interpreting "Quick access" as a new (Windows 10) term for what Windows 7 called the address bar (which can be used as a drop-down box).– TOOGAMMar 21, 2017 at 16:13
