You could chmod that group's folder/files (recursive)
giving users and group members rwx permission on folder
and contained files in the folder but no writes for others.
root$ chmod ug+rwx,o-wx -R /groupfolder
If your using Samba then you can add the create mask = 0765
for that group's folder in /etc/samba/smb.conf
change folder something like :
# The following two entries demonstrate how to share a directory so that two
# users can place files there that will be owned by the specific users. In this
# setup, the directory should be writable by both users and should have the
# sticky bit set on it to prevent abuse. Obviously this could be extended to
# as many users as required.

; comment = Mary's and Fred's stuff
; path = /usr/somewhere/shared
; valid users = mary fred ; I think you could use valid users = %G
; public = no
; writable = yes
; printable = no
; create mask = 0765
then
root$ service smb restart
