We have issues that want a 'default' location for upload:
#1563886: Ability to set default file destination folder when using "Add file" →
#1997208: Specify a fixed custom file directory for use with the /file/add form →
But I think it would be much more desired that the user wants to specify where the file should be uploaded when they upload the file. Something like a tree-widget of writeable folders, or a simple textfield that autocompletes with the folder of the selected file system.
