Mail notifications for SharePoint document library comments

Question

I would like to set up email notifications for comments inside files that are stored in Documents section inside our team's SharePoint. If someone creates a comment nobody get an e-mail - no matter if you are document owner, if you are mentioned (tagged) in the comment or if the comment is assigned to you. Alerts work fine but you cannot set an alert on a comment :/

Notifications settings for SharePoint are like this:

Notifications settings for OneDrive are like this:

Any idea how to set up this or is it impossible?

Hello @Andrej Rus ,

Welcome to Q&A Forum!

SharePoint Email Notifications apply to the following situations:

1.When someone likes or comments on a page or a news post you created

2.When someone Mentions you using @

3.When someone replies to a comment on a page or a news post, the commenter will also be notified.

Therefore, when someone is using @ to add comments for document , the user who is @ can receive email notification.

Here is test:

How to set SharePoint Email Notifications:

1.On the SharePoint start page, select Settings button at the top right.

2.Select Email notification settings.

For more information, please see "Set your SharePoint email notification preferences" article.

Thanks,
