   Alternatively, you can click the Local icon on your system tray or the top bar menu. And, then click Options.
2. On the Tunnel Settings panel, click Show More.
3. In the Folder Testing field, enter the absolute path to the local folder that you want to test. Then, click Update.

To enable folder testing, you need to establish the Local Testing connection with the --folder flag and the absolute path of your HTML file.

To enable folder testing, follow these steps:

1. Open your command-line window.
2. Change the directory to the directory where the BrowserStackLocal binary is saved.
3. Run the following command on your command-line window:

Here,

• YOUR_ACCESS_KEY is your account access key. You can find it on your account’s Settings page.
• ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_HTML_FILE is the absolute path to the HTML file you want to test.

After you run the command, a local folder URL is generated. Copy the generated local folder URL.
