    Here is the documentation about how that is achieved: https://synchro.net/docs/file_section.html#CreatingDefaultUploadDirectory

    I've pointed to you to this documentation before, but I'm guessing from what you pasted that the directory's short name is not "UPLOADS" and that's why it is not working.
