The list of folders in the media sharing dialog seems to be empty by default. This makes the dialog more confusing and error prone. It isn't clear that nothing will be shared even when media sharing is on, and no hint is given about the role of folders.

It would be much more helpful to pre-populate the folder list with some common locations. This would helpfully guide the user into the feature.

There's also a UI bug here - the list row with the + icon is selected, with a blue background colour. This makes the row look like it can't be activated.

Observed with F21 alpha something with GNOME 3.13.91 or so.

Plain bug, it's supposed to have photos, videos and music shared by default.
