This plugin is changing my media folder

I have added the following code to my wp-config.php file to change my media folder to example.com/files instead of example.com/wp-content/uploads.

define( 'UPLOADS', 'files' );

When I activate your plugin all of the images on my site fail to load. When I check the html on the front end, the file path of the images is changed to /wp-content/uploads.

When I deactivate your plugin then the problem goes away. The images load again and the file path is changed back to /files.
