As root you can do something like:

groupadd sharedusers -g 2000

:to create a group in each installation:

chown -R :sharedusers /location/of/shared/directory
:in one of the installations to change the group ownership of the directory where you put your pictures,
documents, etc... note the ':' before the group name.

To change group permissions on the shared files/directories you can do something like:

chmod -R g+rwX

:note capital X, execute/search only if the file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user.

Oh yeah, if you've done all that you might actually want your user account to belong to the shared group. ;)
as root:

usermod -a -G sharedusers yourusername

:note the capital G.
