Most file sharing works just fine but the problem I keep having is
- files added by a Windows user (to my Mac’s shared folder(s)) is set to read-only for everyone except the Windows user who created it.

Is there a way to have any new files added, by me (from my Mac) or a remote user, automatically set to read/write for the ‘everyone’ group? I read something about ACLs and I used an app called ‘Sandbox’ to set these, but the permissions still do not propagate to files created after the permissions were set.

Perhaps a follow article explaining the intricacies and stumbling points of handling permissions in a mixed platform environment?

Dropbox is great for distributed teams, but falls down when you want to do a quick edit on a Photoshop file by opening it over your local network.
