I Added my Account as Owner and Enabled all the Permissions and ticked the "Replace Ownership on all Containers Withing this folder and subfolders". This enabled ownership of the folder and the sub folders but not on the files. I still don't have ownership of Files within the subfolder. I tried adding a "Everyone" account but it's still the same. Even after Ejecting and connecting again and even with restarting it doesn't fix. This is the second time I've had this problem. But this time It's on Windows 11. Last time I encountered something like this was on Windows7 and Windows 10. Why does this even Happen?
