Can you please post a screenshot of your asset volume settings?

Hey, I've already read that my asset folder has to be public. I had the storage folder for my media uploads, someone suggested that I either symlink it to the web folder or use the web folder for uploads. Could that be the fix?

Yes, you should try that. For example if you store your assets in _craft/web/media/images_, you'll need to set the **File system path** of your volume to `@webroot/media/images` and its base URL to `@web/media/images`.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-09-16)

I have a headless Craft CMS site and now the frontend development should start.

I have absolutely no frontend or templates as I only worked on the backend.

The asset url got created at `/images`. If for example the file `1.jpg` got uploaded it should be shown in `example.com/images/1.jpg` when I click on `view` in the file manager in Craft.

Sadly I get the error `Template not found` when I only want to see the uploaded file or rather get access to the file.

What can I do to get access to the assets from my asset link `/images`?

Thanks in advance!
