Changing file upload directory for custom field

Asked you guys before, but thought id give it another shot!

Im trying to change the path in which images are uploaded through my ACF custom field. I was able to add a folder within the “/wp-content/uploads” folder and upload to that, but what i really want is to redirect the upload path to a folder outside “uploads”. Is it possible to change the ‘basedir’ and ‘baseurl’ to something like “/wp-content/stuff/uploaded_stuff” for example? Below is the function im currently using to redirect the specific ACF uploader.

add_filter(‘acf/upload_prefilter/name=custom_field_name', 'field_name_upload_prefilter');
function field_name_upload_prefilter($errors) {
  // in this filter we add a WP filter that alters the upload path
  add_filter('upload_dir', 'field_name_upload_dir');
  return $errors;
}
// second filter
function field_name_upload_dir($uploads) {
  // here is where we later the path
  $uploads['path'] = $uploads[‘basedir’].’/unique_upload_folder’;
  $uploads['url'] = $uploads['baseurl'].'/unique_upload_folder';
  $uploads['subdir'] = '';
  return $uploads;
}

Thanks in advance!
