Digitalocean Apps platform run time error - "workspace" directory is getting added

Question

I could successfully deploy python/flask app on Digitalocean's Apps Platform.

Now its giving runtime error

app runtime log error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/workspace/static/flora_title/Anacardiaceae_Buchanania cochinchinensis_1_Title1.JPG’

so it looks like the “workspace” directory is getting added to my html static data paths, which i don’t expect. This is causing all my static file paths simply inaccessible.

Wondering what could be the solution here? this is first time I am deploying app in DO Apps platform.

Runtime Log as below:
