Phoca Download • New upload is not going to the indicated category

Hi all,
I’m new to this and probably missing something basic, but I can’t seem to find the solution.
When a user uploads a file to a specific category, it actually ends up in a completely different location and isn’t visible in the Downloads front-end.

For example, in the Upload front-end, User me@gmail.com selects the category MyFiles, which is:
* public_html/phocadownload/MyFiles

User selects file NewFile.txt for upload, enters details and clicks Start Upload.
Rather than ending up in the selected Category, the file shows up in this folder:
* public_html/phocadownload/userupload/me-gmail.com

I can see the upload in the Files section of Phocadownload Admin – Files, but then what?
My objective is make uploaded files accessible to other users WITHOUT additional actions required in the back-end by the Administrator. What do I need to do to get the file into the proper folder and make it visible and accessible for download by other users?

Versions: Joomla 4.4.2, Phocadownload 4.0.9
Thanks!
