The file could not be uploaded because the destination PATHNAME is invalid

I cannot get the configuration path settings to work. I've tried multiple subpaths in my directory, but each time I attempt to upload a file, I get this message:

The file could not be uploaded because the destination "/sites/default/files" is invalid. Of course, that file directory is obviously in my tree. So what am I missing??

I've tried all variations and nothing is working. Please advise how to configure this field.

    The solution by @Loyarc in #6 did it for me. It would be nice for the module to suggest some options such as temporary:// or public://.

    I have used public://sites/default/files/testing with success so I agree that the description for the

    Upload location
    

    field could include a couple examples so people don't trip up on this.

    Anyone want to create a tiny patch?
