How do comments work on Delta Drive files?

\n

Short answer: Anyone who can see a file can read its comments, and Comment access or above can post and react (six reactions; hover to see who). Each comment shows the author and exact time. Notes stay private.

\n

Comments are a conversation attached to a file. Anyone who can see the file can read them; anyone with Comment access or higher can add one or react. Everyone sees the same thread, with names, the owner marked, and the exact date and time of each.

\n

There are six reactions, and hovering one says who reacted. On the web, a count beside the file opens the conversation; on your Mac, press ⌘/ with the item selected.

\n

Comments aren't notes: your notes stay private. See editing or removing a comment.
