A 'path/not_found' error like this should indicate that there was nothing found at the specified path. When using an API app with the "app folder" access type like this, the app will only be able to access the contents of the special app folder that it's connected to. In that case, the app should use paths relative to that app folder, meaning it shouldn't send the "/Apps/Noemiephotos" portion. The path "/test.jpg" would be correct for a file named "test.jpg" in the root of the connected app folder.

 

Здравко's suggestion of checking the file listing is a good idea to validate what's in the app folder that the app is connected to.
