inDepth – 

I have been using vcloud director but seldom upload media to my organization catalog. However if you were doing so and saw the browse button fail then don’t be alarmed as this is a known issue with the Java version you are running.

The fix is simple –

1. Click Start  > All Programs > Java > Configure Java to open the Java Control Panel.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. Change the Security Level option to medium.
4. Click the Edit Site List button and add the URL address of the vCloud Director web interface.
