I have some HTML files in the SD card in my phone, which I want to open in Chrome. But, when I am entering the URL of those files in the Chrome's address bar with the `file:///` prefix, Chrome says **Access to the file was denied**. But, I have checked that Chrome has access to the storage. See this screenshot:

Please help me out.  
I have Android 7.0 Nougat and please ask if any more information is required.
