How are you sharing the files? NFS? Samba? Something else? > I can go into a directory and set the owner and group permissions to > read/write on all files in the directory and that works fine.

If you set the setGID bit (chmod g+s) on a directory, all files created in the directory will have the same group ownership as the directory itself. As for the permissions changing, this is a umask problem - you should look at the umask setting for your file sharing service.
