Error When Sending Files via DM with Slack’s files_upload_v2()

Slack recommends migrating from files_upload() to files_upload_v2() for stability relating to large files. However, this change means that you can no longer use something like client.files_upload_v2(channel='@user.name', file=file). You can only send to a channel referenced by a channel ID. Is there a way to use the v2 function to send files as a DM (which would appear in the bot’s Messages channel)? The details on v2 are explained here.
