Comments behaving different with shares on external storage

[rgl1234]

Steps to reproduce

First Case

1. Mount some external smb/cifs storages (eA, eB, eC)
2. Give access to eA, eB to all users and eC only for one specific user u1
3. Place comments for files on eA and eB that could be accessed by all users.
4. To see other users comments, users go to their "Activity - Panel / All activities". Unfortunately comments on files are not visible in this view "All activities"
5. The comments are only visible if users go to the specific file-folder, where they can see that there is a new activity on a specific file.

Second Case

1. u1 shares the location eC with user u2
2. then again u1 and u2 places comments for files on eC.
3. Those comments are visible as expected in the view "All activities" for both users u1 and u2 without need to go to the specific folder on eC.

Expected behaviour

all comments should be visible in the view "All activities" independently of the physical location ore the way they are shared with other users.

Actual behaviour

only comments are visible in locations shared explicitely with a user or group
