Comments (built into the server) and Talk app are two different things in Nextcloud. See Nextcloud server github for discussion on implementing guest & anonymous comments.

enhancement
1. to develop
feature: sharing
feature: comments
# **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 :)

**Web server:**
Apache2
**Database:**
mariadb 10
**PHP version:**
php 7.0
**Nextcloud version: (see Nextcloud admin page)**
Nextcloud 10.0.1
