Overview of applied content types
Content types are an essential part of SharePoint. One issue that has been around since SharePoint 2007 is the absence of an overview of all applied content types. Why is this important? Try to delete a content type and you get the message it's still in use. Good luck finding out where. This is very frustrating and time consuming. That's why I vote for an overview where you can see where the content types are applied.
208 votesApologies for the delayed update on this suggestion. We are aware of interest in better creation and management of content types – especially as we’ve moved forward with modernizing many facets of the product. While we aren’t ready to share specifics yet, this is an area we can say we are looking at in 2018. Thanks!

drag and drop images in wiki pages and blogs
other CMS systems already allow this functionality. Instead of having to save an image somewhere and then upload it to SharePoint, let me just drag / drop images on the wiki and blog pages. Would be ideal for screenshots
126 votesSomething we want to support, and will consider for future updates. Thank you for your feedback!

Change page or news page authors
please add the possibility to modify the page author so e.g. the comms dept is able to add news posts from the Executives. The People Web Part is not sufficient for our business request and a general editors account is not allowed.

Always show options to send email invitation and select group or permission level
My users want the option to send email from the Share UI to be more obvious. Currently it is on by default and hidden under Show Options. Often they complain they didn't want to send email, especially if adding a large group. Also, depending on site group structure, the default group selected might be one with too much access, so I think that should not be hidden under Show Options either, regardless of the fact it has the text at the top of the window.
63 votesGood feedback. We’ll fix this in our next update of the share UI.

Wiki link functionality in modern pages
When editing text blocks in a modern web pages, I'd like to use the wiki link code [[New Page Here]] and have the same functionality, meaning that when saved I can click the "New Page Here" link and have a new page be created automatically with the original link going to the new page.

Need a better way of viewing photos in an online folder instead of one at a time.
Improve the photo viewer in an online folder instead of only being able to view one photo at a time. It needs to work much like OneDrive Personal where you can scroll through an entire folder of photo files by clicking a next button.
11 votesWe have it in our list of features to support photos on OneDrive for Business in a similar manner to how this is handled on OneDrive Consumer.

Provide Access to the Recycle Bins in Explorer View
Today, working with the recycle bins is unwieldy. We experienced a significant unexpected loss of files in our libraries. It was very difficult to get them back since the restore feature crashes if one of the files in the group selected to be restored already exists in the destination library.
