Q: Finder View Preferences Not Saving on Shared Drive

When using finder to browse files on my connected shared drives on my network, finder does not remember my View Options/Preferences, Column Widths, Window Size, Icon/Text size and side toolbar view on/off after I either Force Quit finder, Log Out, or restart. Finder seems to remember and keep all the settings for my user on the Macbook Pro internally, it just doesn't want to keep the Shared Drives view preferences in finder.

 

Is there some sort of command I can enter on Terminal to some how reset maybe a curated file that is affecting this? The ".ds_store" file?? Any help would be much appreciated!! I use shared drives every day, and having to resize windows and hiding the toolbar, fixing the column width, etc. wastes time and is not efficient!
