AirDrop Default Location - macOS

Is there a way to change the default location for AirDrop items from other devices away from the Downloads folder? I'd like to switch it to go straight to the Desktop, or another specific folder automatically. Is that possible?


Thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

No.


The default baked in location Downloads folder


Should be an Option when a file comes in to go directly to Finder window(?)
