The default import folder can be configured by changing the dbms.directories.import parameter in the conf/neo4j.conf configuration file:
# This setting constrains all `LOAD CSV` import files to be under the `import` directory. Remove or comment it out to
# allow files to be loaded from anywhere in the filesystem; this introduces possible security problems. See the
# `LOAD CSV` section of the manual for details.
