Description

Server configuration

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a share with a public link
  2. Let People edit that share (So they can upload their data on that share)

How it behaves:
People can upload their files, but cant make a comment or give additional information

How it should behave:
Anonymous Users should be able to create a Comment to their Uploaded File to give Information about it. As Creator of that comment nextcloud could just call him "Anonymous User". This should work too, if the Anonymous Users are not allowed to see the Data-List of that share.

I guess that is a feature request and not an Issue and im not sure if the App "comments" is a 3rd-Party-App or not. If im wrong here, just delete or close it :)

Operating system:
Ubuntu 16.04. TLS

Web server:
Apache2

Database:
mariadb 10

PHP version:
php 7.0

Nextcloud version: (see Nextcloud admin page)
Nextcloud 10.0.1

Research direction

Start by tracing how public-share uploads and comments are handled in the Nextcloud server, using the reproduction steps in this issue. The work is done when an anonymous uploader can attach a comment to an uploaded file, including when the share hides its data list, with the commenter identified as anonymous.
