Do you know if there's something special in Gridsome about using the directories as specified in the blog post?

media_folder: 'static/media'
public_folder: '/media'

This might be an obvious question, but Gridsome is still pretty light on the documentation unfortunately. I looked at the plugin and didn't see anything there.

I'd like to use content/media for my files, but it just refuses to work if I use something other than static as media_folder I try this. Thanks!

Hello,

Directories in gridsome have a well defined meaning, as explained in the docs. Placing your images inside content would be the logical choice, because Gridsome is able to find and optimize them. However, NetlifyCMS wouldn't be able to find them. This is why, as far as I know, the only solution to make both frameworks happy is to place them inside static.

Sorry for the late reply
