Adding the following code into the directory wp-content/mu-plugins/ activates a must use plugin explained in a bit more detail here .
This plugin changes the default upload url to
example.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/n/_mediavault/year/month/ for multisite and
example.com/wp-content/uploads/_mediavault/year/month/ for single site
This default behaviour applies to anything uploaded from anywhere which negates the need to add an enable protection option to the add media modal.
