How to change default location in MS Teams when using drag and drop for a document in Post?

When Team members drag and drop a file on a channel post, it places these files in the root folder of the channel. This quickly clutters the files location for that channel and requires someone to go in and clean up. Is there a way to change the default location where these files are store in a different folder when using this feature?

    Afaik there is no way to change the location, sorry. Perhaps you should post this on UserVoice as a request.

    Hi @Hidalgo, Shawn

    Indeed, the default download location can't currently be changed in Microsoft Teams. I found many customer has voted it in Teams UserVoice. We recommend you vote for it here and follow the next update.

    Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience. Some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, and your good ideas will be very helpful for them to improve the service.

    Your time, understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.
