A Full Featured Forms Editor to replace InfoPath
So Infopath 2013 is supported in 2016, but SharePoint really needs a full modern full-featured forms editor. FoSL looks promising but the functionality is not clear at this time.
920 votesWe are planning on building a custom forms experience with Microsoft PowerApps. Stay tuned.
For a preview of the current capabilities here’s a video from Ignite 2016:

Optimize Access Request Settings for site owners
Three requested updates to significantly improve the Access Request process:
1) Allow multiple users to receive access requests
Access requests (Site Settings > Site Permission > Access Request Settings) can be sent to anyone with an email address, but it has three critical downsides: 1) you are limited to one email recipient; 2) the field does not accept SharePoint groups; and 3) it’s prone to misspellings of email addresses since the field is not a people picker.
One of the most extreme examples of how this is broken: My company’s CEO needs access to a file s/he has a link…
334 votesThanks for your feedback! The access requests page could certainly use a little love and some usability improvements for both end users and site administrators. We will take a look at these recommendations and update this request when we are ready to begin working on the improvements.

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
91 votesSomething we want to support, and will consider for future updates. Thank you for your feedback!

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.
56 votesGood feedback. We’ll fix this in our next update of the share UI.

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.
30 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.

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.

IMPROVE Edit Page - use the user experience found in the PowerBI Preview
The PowerBI preview allows a user to drag reports anywhere on the page when creating a dashboard, without the complexities of Edit Page or understanding Webpart zones.. This same experience would be a significant improvement for all SharePoint pages. Please let's get SharePoint out of the 20th century!
12 votesWe are working on making it easy to reorder content on the modern pages when Editing the page, at the same time making the edit experience seamless and simple to use. Stay tuned..

Formatting and Configuration Options for the New Site Activity Web Part
The Site Activity web part in the modern page design does not allow for any configuration currently. It would be helpful to configure things such as the number of cards to display, list vs card view, the width of the web part, etc.
6 votesWe now allow you to configure the maximum number of cards to display, but we’re thinking of enabling additional views as well. If you have specific suggestions of what you’d like to see, we’d love to hear them.
