title: Django cannot get file from Network File Sharing folder
body: <p>i am trying to access files from two different locations(<em>static</em> folder inside the app and a mounted shared folder).
  Using <em>os.path.isfile(&quot;/mnt/nfs_client/static/image.png&quot;)</em> i can check that it's available.</p>
  <p><em>settings.py</em></p>
  <pre><code>from pathlib import Path
  
  BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
      
  DEBUG = True
  INSTALLED_APPS = [
      'django.contrib.admin',
      'django.contrib.auth',
      'django.contrib.contenttypes',
      'django.contrib.sessions',
      'django.contrib.messages',
      'django.contrib.staticfiles',
      'channels',
  ]
  
  
  STATIC_URL = '/static/'
  # Define a list of directories (STATICFILES_DIRS) in your settings file where Django will also look for static files.
  STATICFILES_DIRS = [ BASE_DIR / 'static', '/mnt/nfs_client/static/',]
  </code></pre>
  <p>when the file is available i make a <em>dict</em> and send to front-end to be displayed.</p>
  <p><em>views.py</em></p>
  <pre><code>name_dict = {'name': &quot;image-name&quot;, &quot;icon&quot;: &quot;/mnt/nfs_client/static/image.png&quot;, &quot;meta&quot;: {&quot;type&quot;: &quot;image&quot;, 'description':&quot;image-desc&quot;}}
                              
  </code></pre>
  <p>But i get the following:</p>
  <pre><code>Not Found: /mnt/nfs_client/static/image.png
  HTTP GET /mnt/nfs_client/static/image.png 404 [0.01, 127.0.0.1:38048]
  </code></pre>
