Bug description
It is not possible to set the "View and Comment" mode for the file, which is publicly available.
Steps to reproduce
1 Uploading a file to the Drive.
2 Click on the "Show access options" button.
3 We specify the user. When choosing a mode, there is no suitable one.
Expected behavior
The user SHOULD NOT be able to edit the file. He should read the file and leave his comments.
There is no way to set the Type of access.
Please add this type.

Research direction
The issue provides reproduction steps through Drive's "Show access options" flow but names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the sharing flow first, then trace where access modes are defined; done means a shared file can be set to View and Comment, preventing edits while allowing comments.
