Static files not loading to django project

Question

I have a project, where my partner worked on the Frontend without using any frameworks, just used js, html and css. I wanted to attach that front to the back by using Django.

Here are the settings from settting.py

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join('C:/Users/1224095/work/Backend/backend/static')

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)

I added the {% load static %} in my html header. To not confuse you, I made a static directory named static, and inside I got my assets and plugins from the frontend, plus in every place, I added href= {% static 'path to the file' %} .

As a result, I am getting an error of 404, does anyone has an idea why? here's an example of my html:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

{% load static %}

<head>

    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <link href="{% static 'assets/plugins/simplebar/css/simplebar.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="{% static 'assets/plugins/perfect-scrollbar/css/perfect-scrollbar.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="{% static 'assets/plugins/metismenu/css/metisMenu.min.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="{% static 'assets/plugins/vectormap/jquery-jvectormap-2.0.2.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="{% static 'assets/plugins/highcharts/css/highcharts-white.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" />

This is not the best way...

(1): You can only use this in your settting.py==> STATIC_URL = '/static/'

(2): You have to Copy and Plast your STATIC files (Js, CSS, ...) in each App with templates(html) that you have created. It will look like that:

 App |_migrations |_templates |_static |__App (directory with the App name) |_assets |_js |_css |_img |_plugins |_....

Your HTML will look like this ===>

 <,doctype html> <html lang="en"> {% load static %} <head> <.-- Required meta tags --> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link href="{% static 'App/assets/plugins/simplebar/css/simplebar.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" />

Just don't forget to write App before each 'assets'

Hope this will help you....
