 * i just uploaded several files via drag&drop from the media/library/add new admin
   page, but they were put in the wrong folder:-\ instead of
    [https://mycascadescenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/](https://mycascadescenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/)
   they were put in [https://mycascadescenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/](https://mycascadescenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/)
   see screenshot @ [https://mycascadescenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/wtfUpload.png](https://mycascadescenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/wtfUpload.png)
 * if instead i upload from the edit page/add media/upload modal, it goes where 
   expected:

 * Both ways use the same underlying mechanism. But there are ways plugins or themes
   can influence the final destination. That’s apparently happening here. Try uploading
   after deactivating all plugins and switching to a default twenty* theme. The 
   file should end up in the right folder now. Narrow down the cause by restoring
   your theme and plugins, one at a time, testing upload destination after each.
