Can't copy files after Watford Apple Store messed My Permissions up

Over a year ago Watford Apple Store messed My Permissions up when doing a repair so simple tasks like making duplicates of ALL my desktop folders and dragging them to my iCloud storage is now a couple hassle where I have to do it individually because of this warning when I copy the folders:

There is never anywhere to enter a password and the process fails until I can find the actual folder causing the issue and then try and duplicate and copy items in it individually. So.. something that used to take seconds to do (copy and drag eg 30 folders to iCloud) is now a complete nightmare.

What is the permanent solution other than never trusting your MacBook with Watford Apple Store?

Thanks
