How exactly are you uploading the images? The “Default Upload Location” will only be used when you are dragging a file onto the Assets field, or pressing the “Upload files” button beside “Add an asset”. If you upload a file within the asset selection modal, it will be uploaded to the currently-selected location.

Sorry for not clarifying this earlier, I was uploading the images by clicking "+ Add an asset" and then drag & drop them into the popup dialogue. I understood this as the "field", but when I upload it directly into the field or with "Upload Files" it works.

Thank you for the support!
