Description
Currently if you @mention someone in a comment on a file which is not shared by them, they will not be able to read the comment and you won’t know about that either.
If you @mention someone in a comment on a file/folder, there should be a suggestion to share with them.
Ideally this should already be while you type the comment, for example as a tooltip:
This file isn’t shared with @schiessle yet. [ Share now ]
And a click on »Share now« should automatically trigger a share with that person in a seamless flow. Ideally not even go to the Share tab for that but just do it in the background.

Research direction
Start by locating the file or folder comment composer and the existing sharing flow. Trace how @mentions are detected and how permissions are checked, then verify that an unshared mentioned person receives a share suggestion and that “Share now” completes sharing without requiring a separate Share-tab visit.
