Restricting asset in order to maintain structure

Hi,

In order to make structure more clear in the /content/dam, and to avoid that assets are uploaded on all locations without maintaining this folder structure, is there a possibility to block the upload of assets on level 1, level 2...
and to only allow folders on these levels?

something like explained on this page-

If you have any automated flow for assets then you can looks for that path and restrict
