Permissions are calculated by adding up all allow permissions, then substracting the denies.

So if the group has allow permissions, and since all users are part of the everyone group, those users then get denies, thereby denying them access to the folder.

Remove inclusive permissions for everyone in allows, and add the group to the allows. Do NOT use denies as a general rule.
