Cannot write on sshfs mounted folder

I've mounted a folder of a Google Cloud Platform virtual machine on my local machine using the command

sshfs -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/google_compute_engine \
user@remote-machine:/remote-folder \
~/gcp-remote -o allow_other,default_permissions

On my local machine I can read the folder contents, but not write to it. I am on MacOS, version 11.3. I've also tried -o default_permissions, -o allow_other, and removing -o allow_other,default_permissions altogether.

I also made sure that on the remote machine, the user I login via SSH is owner of the mounted folder. (I checked this after reading SSHFS MacOs Read Only Issue)

I tried creating a file with TextEdit, Atom, and also tried to create a folder using Terminal. All attempts were unsuccessful because of missing permission.

How can I mount the folder with write access?

Once I put the mounted folder into the home folder of the user I login via SSH, it worked.
