In Skype on Ubuntu, you can click a little folder icon next to a download to open the directory containing the download:

When I click the folder icon, the folder is always opened in Nautilus? How do I change the file manager used to open this file?

Skype uses a program called mimeopen to open the folder.

To choose a new default file manager to open directories, run this in a terminal:

mimeopen --ask-default ~/Downloads/

You should get output similar to the following:

Please choose a default application for files of type inode/directory

    1) Files  (nautilus)
    2) Disk Usage Analyzer  (baobab)
    3) Files  (nautilus-folder-handler)
    4) Open Folder with Thunar  (Thunar-folder-handler)
    5) Other...

Simply choose the correct number, and Skype should use your default choice from now on.
