So how do you want to specify the folder to create File object into?

You can simply get reference to existing
folder and call _setObject on it like:

a = self.folder1.folder2.folder3
a._setObject(id, File(id,title,'',content_type, precondition))

Or if you want to have web form where you can specify target
folder with path like expressions:
'/folder1/folder2/folder3'

you may want to use:
a = '/folder1/folder2/folder3'
self.restrictedTraverse(a)._setObject...

If you want to create a form with a list of folders
then look at plope.org on Zope Book at API Reference.
There are functions like objectItems:

self.objectItems( 'Folder' )
or
objectItems( 'Foldered (Ordered)' )
