wp_get_upload_dir()
Retrieves uploads directory information.
Same as wp_upload_dir() but "light weight" as it doesn't attempt to create the uploads directory. Intended for use in themes, when only 'basedir' and 'baseurl' are needed, generally in all cases when not uploading files.

Examples
#1 Get the download directory data
$dir = wp_get_upload_dir(); print_r( $dir ); /* Will display Array ( [path] => /home/example.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2016/04 [url] => http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04 [subdir] => /2016/04 [basedir] => /home/example.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads [baseurl] => http://example.com/wp-content/uploads [error] => ) */ // Display the data echo $dir['basedir']; // /home/example.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads echo $dir['baseurl']; // http://example.com/wp-content/uploads
For multisite the data will be like:
Array ( [path] => /var/app/www/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09 [url] => http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09 [subdir] => /2023/09 [basedir] => /var/app/www/wp-content/uploads/sites/2 [baseurl] => http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2 [error] => )
#2 Another example of a download folder
