There, instead of selecting read-only from the Default Access drop-down list, select the access given to anyone who can access your share (not a hundred percent sure how this option is named and unfortunately I cannot check at the moment).
Bye,
Eskender
I have tried both of your suggested solutions but none worked sadly.
