Go to 'admin/config/media/file-system' and set your site wide paths there.

For MultiMedia Asset Fields
Then if you add a media field to any content types, editing that field gives you the option to save as private or public (also others like youtube / flickr if installed).

For Image Fields, I think you can specify further options such as full path / sub directory / tokens.

I cannot find further options for images. I am looking for a way to specify subdirectory for images uploaded by Media module.

I think sub directories are only available if you use the Drupal core image upload handling.
Perhaps this should be a feature request for the Media module.

Can you explain me why all my images are saving in sites/default/files/null directory?
I think it's a bug.

I found this code in includes/media.fields.inc

'file_directory' => isset($field_settings['file_directory']) ? $field_settings['file_directory'] : NULL,

So it may be possible to specify upload path, but I cannot find a way to set $field_settings['file_directory'] variable.

I checked, and yes it is possible to specify upload directory.
When you add a new field to your content type... select IMAGE then MULTIMEDIA ASSET

The edit field will now allow you to specify a subdirectory.

You are right. I can use image or file field instead of the Multimedia assert field. These fields also supported by "Media file selector" widget. Now I've checkout 2.x version and I am seeing that this field type (Multimedia assert) is deprecated.

But nevertheless, null directory confused and I made a little patch to fix it.
