# Can people I share with see my notes in Delta Drive?

No. A note is a short private label — up to 280 characters — that you write on a file or folder, and nobody you share with ever sees it. Notes are searched alongside names, so a few words now makes something findable in a year.

A note follows its file when you rename or move it, and a rebuild never touches them. If you want a conversation others can read, that's a **comment** instead.
