If they upload to the right location in the first place, then they
likely won't have a problem - the new files will inherit the security
context of the parent directory.  It is only when they upload to a
location with different protection defaults and then move to the new
location.  Even copying would work fine, as noted, as it doesn't
preserve protections by default unless you specify the corresponding
option.
