Permissions issues
 

As you can see in the image, the fourth folder owned by liaml7 and the group liaml7 has all permissions even to other users, it doesn't appear this way though. I keep trying to cd and create files in the folder but it says liaml7 doesn't have permissions. What am I doing wrong?

unless you are in the user group liaml7
that will not work

the user liaml7 needs to be in the users group
as root run
that will change the permission on the folder "liaml7" to let users change it

unless this is a temp folder automounted in the /media folder
That is controlled by udev

I figured it out... I had to change the permissions of /media folder.

All folders on / should be owned by root
owner = root
users = root

some os's will not let you boot if this is not true
SElinux kernel will through a fit ( if it is used )
/media is a folder for TEMPORARY file systems from auto mounted devices

if you need a device to mount as read/write by the normal user then mount it using fstab
automount will auto set it as read only by normal users and read / write for root

and if it might be in any usb slot ( as in it changes ) write a udev rule so it is always mounted to the same place
