Thank you for this suggestion. It is a niche request and I am not sure which problem it solves. We will reconsider with additional use case and demand info.

I just had a few senior management users ask for this, too. The use case is that if someone prints or emails a file to one of the senior managers (instead of sending a shared link), that the recipient would be able to identify the file name and version just by looking at the document.. Legacy document management systems - such as those used by law firms - have had this feature for decades that puts a document ID and/or version in the footer so perhaps it could be done via the Box Drive or Box Tools desktop apps, or the Box for Office plugin.
