Maybe configuring ACL would be a good idea. With ACL you can create group
'media'
and use something like:
# setfacl -R -m group:media:rwx /path/to/shared/dir/
# setfacl -R -m default:group:media:rwx /path/to/shared/dir/
to allow all users in this group to read and write files inside
shared directory. This page provides some information about ACL:
