Public Assets
Public assets are static files such as images, video, css, etc. that you want to make accessible to the outside world. Every new project includes, by default, a folder named ./public.
Because an API may need to serve static assets, every new Strapi project includes by default, a folder named /public. Any file located in this directory is accessible if the request's path doesn't match any other defined route and if it matches a public file name.
Example
An image named company-logo.png in ./public/ is accessible through /company-logo.png URL.
::: tip
index.html files are served if the request corresponds to a folder name (/pictures url will try to serve public/pictures/index.html file).
:::
::: warning
The dotfiles are not exposed. It means that every file where the names start with a ., such as .htaccess or .gitignore, are not served.
:::
Refer to the public assets configurations for more information.
