@PuspamAdak I am not sure if it is going to work or not on a non rooted phone. But you can try (if you have not already done it) the following command: adb shell pm grant com.android.chrome android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. I have a rooted phone and with some Xposed modules, Chrome has full access to the SD card.

| Jul 17, 2019 at 15:29 | comment | added | Puspam | I have made a browser app of my own. In that app, everything is working fine, it is able to access the SD card. See this screenshot. I can still remember that I haven't used any special permissions in that app. | |

You are right, Chrome can read and write from the Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/download folder in the SD card, but is unable to access it's parent directories. Thanks.
