I supose you are using cordova plugin File. If you want select others routes, u can use the diferents directories provided by File. EJ:

this.file.applicationStorageDirectory
this.file.applicationDirectory
this.file.documentsDirectory

You have the complete list here https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file
If you need more help, say to me.

to use if With Filepicker use a constant to set options:

const options = {
  title: 'Select Avatar',
  customButtons: [{ name: 'fb', title: 'Choose Photo from Facebook' }],
  storageOptions: {
    skipBackup: true,
    path: 'images',
  },
};

and send it to the picker:

ImagePicker.showImagePicker(options, (response) => {
