Why django not storing files in media folder?

My settings.py

MEDIA_ROOT='/static/'

MEDIA_URL='media'

My urls.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns=[
#all routes
]

if settings.DEBUG:
   urlpatterns+=static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

This code works fine many time but this is not working, I don’t know why?

>Solution :

You haven’t defined BASEDIR and you are defining it wrong way.

Try this:

Settings.py

MEDIA_URL= '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT=BASE_DIR / 'media'
