How to allow access to a folder in Magento root?

I recently upgraded to Magento 2.4.6. I’ve always had a folder named “PS” with pdf files in my magento root but now I can’t access it. I noticed that this line from RewriteRule . /pub/$0[L]* my root .htaccess plays a part in blocking it? What changes in my .htaccess should I make to make the PS folder and it’s pdf files available.
