Hi @kiranmurali93, I can't reproduce this behavior at my end. To better understand the issue can you try the following and let me know?

Make sure you give the necessary file permissions for the browser to access the local drive.
Try opening the Hoppscotch app in a new incognito window and try to reproduce the error.
Try opening the Hoppscotch app in a different browser and see if the error persists.

If the issues still persist, I'd appreciate it if you could produce a screen recording of the entire process.
