hi,

 

by default, object inherits permissions parent object, either @ time of creation or when copied or moved parent folder. exception rule occurs when move object different folder on same volume. in case, original permissions retained.

 

based on current situation, suggest perform following steps re-inherit permissions of parent folder.

 

1.     right click on shared drive , click properties.

2.     switch security tab , click advanced button.

3.     under permissions tab click change permissions button.

4.     click replace child object permissions inheritable permissions object box and click ok.

5.     when do wish continue? dialog box prompts up, click yes confirm.

 

you may refer following microsoft kb article modify forcecopyaclwithfile , movesecurityattributes values to meet requirement.
