If there is a folder with random files, and you just try to access the folder directly, you’ll indeed get 403 error. Usually, you don’t want people to see a list of files in your website, so that’s why it’s blocked. If you want to see a list of files, you can enable it with .htaccess rules. The solution is even included in that article:

• You can create a file with the name .htaccess in the directory and add the line Options +Indexes. This will cause the server to show a list of files and directories instead.

You say you tried “it”, but the article has a multiple possible causes with each one or more ways to fix it. So I don’t know what “it” is that you did.
