Q: No group permissions?
When i make a new file or folder and check the permissions it looks like this:
No group permissions. This leads to problems when i upload my documents to my dropbox.
How can i fix this? (El Capitan 11.10.3)
thanks.

I would check the value of the umask environment variable.
To check the value, open Terminal application and at the shell prompt type umask.
(That is, type only the word umask and hit enter.)
I suspect that your file has no permissions set for group and therefore non are printed by 'get info'.
BTW - my umask value is set to 22.
read about setting umask values by typing man umask at the Terminal shell prompt.
