@CharlesGreen that is a different scenario with Ubuntu 13.04, and this is 16.04. I don't think the both are same. Anyway thanks for notifying.

You are correct - the content is a bit dated, and there is no current refresh available on launchpad (that I found)

Also works on 18.04, but nautilus-actions was renamed to filemanager-actions.
Still waiting for filemanager-actions to be added to the repos, but it's available on a development PPA as a workaround:
https://launchpad.net/~tomtomtom/+archive/ubuntu/filemanager-actions
Ref:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1768597
filemanager-actions interface is slightly different. Updated instructions (with thanks to above).
Once installed, open filemanager-actions and do the following:
To Create the new "Refresh" option:
- 'Define a new action' and change its name to Refresh
- On the Action tab, enable 'Display item in location context menu'
- On the Command tab set the Path to /usr/bin/xdotool, Parameters, type in 'key F5' without quotes.
- Save your changes with File/Save.
To set the context menu to show directly, and not in a sub-menu:
- In top menu, under 'Filemanager-Actions Configuration Tool' select
'Preferences' - In the Runtime preferences tab, disable the following:
- Create a root 'Filemanager-Actions' menu
- Add an 'About Filemanager-Actions' item...
Kill all existing nautilus windows:
Open a terminal and run nautilus -q
Start Nautilus.
