as I made some changes to have /media directory and so the usb disks and sticks are mounted in /media and to save and open files so as anybody can view and modify, and I wander if this do alll the work,
so what this software does ?
https://software.opensuse.org/package/filesystem-media
It provides the /media infrastructure for a shared, udisks-compatible mount location. It does not itself mount the USB devices or set their permissions, AFAIU.
If you already have udisks2 mounting to /media with the correct permissions in your desktop environment, nothing more needs to be done.

FWIW, I installed filesystem-media to see what it actually does. It doesn’t actually provide shared /media mounting. It uses PAM namespaces to make /media a per-user view of that user’s /run/media/$USER.
It’s use case seems to be for people who want the convenience of the old /media/... path while retaining udisks2’s current per-user security model. Not for shared access as such.
I removed it now.
