Answer 1

you shouldn't put them in app/FOLDERbut in public/FOLDER, everything going in public/ is public.

Here's an explaination of all the directories in a rails app : guides.rubyonrails.org

Answer 2

In the latest Rails the files should exist in one of the following...

app/assets
lib/assets
vendor/assets

If you cannot move the folder but still need it to be accessible you can use...

Rails.application.config.assets.paths << folder_path
