# How do comments work on Delta Drive files?

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.

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.

Comments aren't notes: your notes stay private. See [editing or removing a comment](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/can-i-edit-or-delete-a-comment-in-delta-drive).
