Comment on files without edit permission
I just learned about a relatively recent Google Drive feature where files can be shared with others with only permission to comment: https://www.blog.google/products/g-suite/new-ways-comment-microsoft...
This is enabled by default when you share the file with view-only permissions - opening it in the web apps allows the use of "Review" mode, which gives you a commenting permissions and nothing else.

VasilMichev I don't think this is a valid solution. The review mode can only be accessed if you have edit rights.
With view only rights, you can visit the review tab but the only option available is to read comments. You can not add comments.
