It looks like the "Media" folder is in your home directory. If that is accurate, you need to move "Media" out of your home directory. The permissions on /home/ambivertguy are locked down and should stay that way. Your home directory is for private and secure files and the permissions should never be opened up to allow other users to access it.

If you have files that need to be shared with other users you need to move them out of your home directory. Put them in /media or something.
