azure devops – Manually Upload Releases

I use TFS version 16. I have my code saved in a Git repo. The file that I deploy is a zip file that is made on my PC. Whenever I am ready to release my code, I want to manually upload the Zip file to a release location in Azure with its version number. It seems silly to place released zip files into a folder held by the Git repo, but that can be done. Is there a cleaner way of manually placing files onto the project? What would be ideal is something like what Dropbox or Google Drive have, where files can be seamlessly uploaded be dropping them into a folder.

I tried looking into the Release settings, but the only options required pipelines and no options to get artifacts from an upload.
