To solve this error You will just have to clear Chrom’s cache and then grant permission for the Storage that’s it.

There are two methods to do this and any one of them will definitely work for you that’s sure!
Method 1
First up all long tap on the Chrome icon and then go to ‘App info’
Now tap on ‘Clear data’
Now tap on the ‘Clear cache’ (It will not delete any important data)

Now go to ‘Storage’ permissions
Now simply Allow the Chrome for storage
Method 2
