How do I give chromium permissions to read files of my /usr or /tmp folders?

Question

I installed chromium browser from the snap store and it works fine except when I try to run jupyter notebooks from some locations, it will raise a permission denied error and I don't know how to fix it. Firefox runs it fine.

In Chromium, you need to allow it to access files on local storage.
Simply go to the Ubuntu Software, open Chromium details, click on Permissions and switch ON the following option :

read/write files on removable storage devices
