There are two mistakes:
You cannot point to files that are on lower level than your
app.yaml
, because whatever is outside is not handled by Google App Engine, so never start with../
in yourapp.yaml
files.As you can see from the docs regarding the
static_dir
is a directory that will be uploaded with the application as static files, so trying to upload two directories that pointing to the same path doesn't make much sense and most likely will fail even if the regexp going to succeed.
So the answer to your question is: this not really possible. I would suggest to put all your files that you want to serve into one folder that is on the same level (or deeper) with the app.yaml
and point it there.
