title: Django: Where to store global static files and templates?
body: <p>So I am working on a Django (1.9) project, and have the need to use the same templates and static files across multiple apps. I know how to use templates and static files stored outside each app (using STATICFILES_DIRS and TEMPLATEFILES_DIRS in settings.py), but <em>where</em> should I store them?</p>
  
  <p>My guess would be in folders in the project directory.</p>
  
  <pre><code>home/user/myproject/staticfiles
  home/user/myproject/templates
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if there are official reconsiderations (which I have been unable to find in the documentation), I would prefer to comply with those.</p>
  
  <p>Also, if there are any other recommendations for using templates and static files outside of the normal django app directories, that you think I should know about, I'd really appreciate you telling me (or telling me where to look).</p>
  
  <p>Cheers :)</p>
