Yes (not prepopulated, but yes). See the Tutorial on Dynamic Paths on the File Away Settings page, Tutorials tab, for instructions on how to point dynamically to a folder for a given user. If the folder hasn’t been created yet, you can also put makedir=”true” in either your fileup or fileaway shortcode (whichever appears first on the page), or in both, and the directory will be created the first time that user loads the page.
You can also set the file upload to be fixed to a specific directory, so the user will not even see the dropdown ([fileup fixedlocation=”true”]. If the [fileup] shortcode is used on the same page as a [fileaway directories=”true”] shortcode, you can fix the upload directory to the currently navigated file table directory, like so:
[fileup matchdrawer=”1″][fileaway directories=”true” drawerid=”1″]

I went over some of the tutorials and already set up dynamic patch having the user username as variable to name the folder. If I use the fixed location it will consider the dynamic variable so will be fixed but each user has it’s own location?
Thanks,

That’s correct.
[fileup sub=”fa-username” fixedlocation=”true”]
will always and only upload to the user’s personal directory, with no directory dropdown on the page to worry about.

Using that shortcode doesn’t show any buttons. I added makedir=”true” and it worked the way you said, the problem is I’m not seeing any files on the user folders through FTP.
Using this shortcode:
[fileup base=”5″ makedir=”true” sub=”fa-username” fixedlocation=”true” uploadlabel=”Upload” align=”left”]
The same result, no upload actually happening and also I can’t see anything being align left or even the button label as “Upload”.
Am I missing something?
What’s your server operating system?
