How to correctly specify the path to public?

Question

Django

• app
  
• env
  
• layouts
  
  • static
    
  • public
    
  • templates
    
  
  

I want the user to upload media files to the public folder

import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
PUBLIC_URL = '/public/'
PUBLIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '../layouts/public/')

I tried to specify ../ but it didn’t help, it fills me with a picture in the app folder

Answer 1

./manage.py shell

>>> from django.conf import settings
>>> import os
>>> p = os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, 'layouts/public')
>>> p

We look at what the p variable produces, if we don’t like it, then we correct it.

Answer 2

PUBLIC_URL = '../layouts/public/'
doesn't work like that?
