Android - can not access the html file on sdCard [closed]

Question

I am trying to open html file that I have on my sdCard in Chrome or any other web browser (not html Viewer).

I have tried to enter path to file like this

 file:///storage/extSdCard/page/page.html

I get this error:

 ERR_ACCESS_DENIED

What could be wrong please?

EDIT: I have to mention that I am not developing a android app. I just want to view a html file, that is on my SD card in chrome mobile browser

EDIT2: It is not working from ext. sdcard and also from internal memory

Thank you.
