Connect Faculty Tools to File Uploads

"I'm curious as to why the "Choose File" option in the Resource/Content List tool (Add New Item/Link to a File/Choose File) works differently on our Faculty pages than it does in the main Site Manager.
In the main Site Manager, clicking on "Choose File" takes me to the File Uploads. In the Faculty pages,"Choose File" takes me to my computer and bypasses the File Uploads.
Is it possible to change the Faculty pages to work like the main website does (i.e., Choose File takes the user to the File Uploads)? This would be helpful to me so I can access files in the faculty member's File Uploads when they need help and don't have to wait for the faculty member to email the file to me. "
