Static and media urls in Django

In my settings file there is STATIC_URL = '/static/' and getting access to static files(css files) from the directory app/static/css/filename . If I add this to the setting file MEDIA_URL = '/media/' is it possible to access the media files from app/media/filename? There is no MEDIA_ROOT or STATIC_ROOT in my settings.py.

The MEDIA_URL is meant for files uploaded by a user. These files are not checked in, so you shouldn't have a media directory inside your app.

For media files to work, you must set MEDIA_ROOT in your settings. See the docs for instructions how to serve media files.
