How to make django look for static in specified directories instead of view/file.css

I am aware that similar question was answered in Django - Static file not found But looks like I miss something or it was, somehow, a different case.

I have my static folders set in settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
    STATICFILES_DIRS = [
        os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")
    ]

And in the code, I refer to file like 

{% load staticfiles %}
    <link href="{% static 'filename.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">

Still, django searches for this file in /view/filename.css How do I make it work? P.S. Also bootstrap.css
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="hash" crossorigin="anonymous"> isn't loaded for the same reason.

A path to 'static' folder, if you create project like this: django-admin startproject myproject_root, should be: "myproject_root/myproject/static"

# settings.py
DEBUG=True

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'myproject/static')

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'myproject/'),
]

Do you have django.contrib.staticfiles included in your INSTALLED_APPS ? What django version are you using? If you just debug your app, you must set setting DEBUG=True to allow django serve your static files.
