Is there a way to load QFileDialog with the user's local environment (drives, recent, etc.)?

I'm currently using a QFileDialog in PyQt5, but whenever it loads, it starts from scratch at the user's home folder and with no relevant files/shortcuts/etc in the sidebar. Most file browsers will have quick links to your various hard drives, documents folder, and so on.

I haven't found any options or flags that you can set in the QFileDialog, but testing my software is a real pain when I need to re-navigate from the home folder to wherever I'm keeping test data or whatnot ever single time.
