Folder for file-upload is can't be changed.

Describe the solution you'd like
A field in settings, where Const FILES_FOLDER = 'Forms'; ( /apps/forms/lib/Constants.php) can be set to a different location. e.g. team-folder

Describe alternatives you've considered
A more comprehensive alternative would be to make forms accessible to a group so that a team can work together on a survey.

Research direction

Start with /apps/forms/lib/Constants.php and trace where FILES_FOLDER is used for uploaded files. Review the existing settings entry points to determine how a user-defined folder could be selected. Done means the upload destination can be configured instead of being fixed to Forms, with the behavior verified in the relevant upload flow.
