Just spent 4 hour searching the net for a fix, in the end I found this, I don't now if this is useful to anyone else or the right way to do it but the only thing that worked.
Step 1 – Give permission to everyone
Right click on the drive what you want to share.
Open the “sharing” tab and click on advance sharing.
Make a tick on the “Share this folder”.
Now click on the “Permission”.
Now give everyone full permission.
Step 2 – Add the “Everyone” username in the security to access the shared drive.
Go to the security tab and click on edit.
Click on “add”.
Now click on advanced to find the “everyone”.
Click on find now to find all the users.
Now find the “Everyone” user, select it and click ok.
Now you’ve seen the user name “Everyone” is shown in the user and group setting. Click ok to add this user.
Step 3 – Allow full permission to “Everyone” user to access the dive sharing completely.
Click on “everyone”.
Now tick on the full control and then click on “Apply”.
After that you will see the windows security pop-up windows opens up and applying setting to all your files and folder, just watch it don’t click on cancel until they completes.
Now you can able to read and write the files on that drive after this configuration and you see the difference below:

That will work as you've just given anyone and everyone who is on your network full read, write access to all of your data. Be careful with whom you give access to your network.
