Hi @Jeff-asus,

Thanks for the report! This isn't actually a MarkView issue. Brave disables the File System Access API by default for privacy reasons, and that's what powers the Select Folders feature.

You can enable it by:

1. Opening brave://flags/#file-system-access-api
2. Setting it to Enabled
3. Restarting Brave (or simply reloading the tab with the markdown file open and clicking Select Folder again)

I've attached a screenshot showing the exact flag location. You can also read more about the API in the official docs: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/web-apis/file-system-access

I'll also evaluate adding a warning message for first-time Brave users in an upcoming release if it's a good fit, so others don't run into the same confusion.

Could you give that a try and update this thread with the result? If it still doesn't work after enabling the flag, let me know and I'll dig in further.

Hi @dangtungg ,
I just tried your approach and it works now. The warning suggestion for Brave users is also a good idea.
Much appreciate your prompt reply.
