I think I had the same problem.  It wound up being a smb.conf change:

force directory mode
force create mode

and then you can put the masks that you want

I am rather new to this and apologize if this is not correct

when a file is created with the absence of force user and/or force group, it
will use the %u and their default group.  So if the user who connects is
sathi then the created file or directory will have ownership of sathi and
group of sathi.  If everyone is in this group they will be able to see it.
Your answer would be to include the line:

 [Share]
    comment = Share
    path = /Store/share
    valid users = @share
    create mask = 0777
    directory mode = 0775
    browseable = yes
    writable = yes
    force group = <the group with everyone in it>
