Comments on Anonymous Uploads on Public Shares

[Putzlappeneimer]

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

The report is fine here, comments and public link sharing both come from this repo, so all good.

However the issue is not that trivial and has a snake trail of problems

[k1ngf15h3r]

this feature is exactly what I am looking for. I need an option for public uploads which make it easy to add name and email address of uploading person

my suggestions:

Anonymous comments could be useful for any shared nextcloud url:

• shared public url’s in general, such as a picture you’ve embedded here on github from your Nextcloud
• 1️⃣⬇️🔗 One-time download links #6841 one time downloads, so recipient can confirm they did get the file
  • if link expires after one time download, recipient would have X minutes to comment before url expiration.
  • perhaps nextcloud user could write comments as well for anonymous users to read ala: Please confirm you successfully downloaded the file. Link expires at 9:50am PST. Thanks

This feature would be really welcome. It would be great if you could either leave a comment when uploading, or if the sharer could make it mandatory to leave the comment. We receive many assignments /orders via filedrop and very often we have to get in contact with the client afterwards to get case-numbers and similar information. If this kind of info could be entered in a comment while uploading to the file drop, that would make our lives a lot easier!

This feature would be very useful.

We are an advertising agency and always need to create a new user account for our customers so they can comment on the files they've sent us. Omitting this step would greatly improve our workflow.

Sounds like the perfect usecase for the guests app: https://github.com/nextcloud/guests

I'm here to state my support aswell, I'm trying to have the student nucleus to change from Gdrive to Nextcloud, and because it's a type of system where everybody contributes but all information must be filtered first, and because the administrator isn't obviously assigned to all classes, each time something changes (bibliography, lecture notes, program, etc.) the students can add it as a comment as a warning to everybody else until the administrator has time to change it.

I would love such a feature. Right now I am not able to talk with participants that are logged out about our plans because we have no file comment available.

You could trying using Talk for this. Might fill the gap as far guest access.

It would be neat to have an option to show the comments too, not just write them. Use case : adding comments to a photo gallery.
