React js. ASPNET Core 3.1. Where to save uploaded images and how to display them on the site from the storage location if there is a Redirect in React?

Question

ASP.NET

You need to save the user's images somewhere, I read a lot of different things and came to the conclusion that it's better in the wwwroot folder.

How to save image on the server using ASP.NET Core 2.0

But I can't display an image that is saved in a folder.

Startup.cs

-
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
        {
            app.UseHttpsRedirection();
            // For the wwwroot folder
            string cachePeriod = _env.IsDevelopment() ? "600" : "604800";
            app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
            {
                OnPrepareResponse = ctx =>
                {
                    ctx.Context.Response.Headers.Append("Cache-Control", $"public, max-age={cachePeriod}");
                },
                FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "wwwroot", "images", "static")),
                RequestPath = "/static"
            });
        }

But this way doesn't work.
