I'm trying to install Visual Studio Code on a Chromebook. It seems to have installed normally and I can open the template files that I need.

However, when I try and create a new file I get this permission denied error.

I've tried searching online for help setting permissions so VS Code can access certain Chromebook directories, but can't find the help I need. I've tried creating the new file in both the 'Downloads' directory, and in the 'Google Drive' directory but I get the same error. I am following along with a coding course in Udemy but the video doesn't show this error occuring.

  • Read about [the problems with images of text](//meta.stackoverflow.com/a/285557/11107541) and then [edit] to convert your image of text into actual text. Likely useful: [/help/formatting](/help/formatting) – starball Feb 27 '23 at 19:14
  • If you get further information in any output logs (`View > Output`), please shared those as well (as formatted text and not as images of text). – starball Feb 27 '23 at 19:16

  • Thanks for your answer. I didn't realize you could set permissions that way on a Chromebook, it was very easy in the end. – Oli Feb 28 '23 at 03:30
