Enable download of watermarked file via public shared link.
We want to be able to distribute watermarked files via public shared link. It's confusing for end users, as well, since the Shared Link settings for allow download is not grayed out when the file is "watermarked".

I'd like to see this too. A use case is a shared link in emails to prospective clients/interested parties who likely don't have box accounts. It would be nice to have the files watermarked, because although the email may go to a group of people, the information in the files is important and specifically states that it shouldn't be shared. Not NDA level information, but not 'do whatever you want with this information' either. So although it's not technically confidential information; it is important information that shouldn't be broadly circulated to just anyone. If someone starts broadly circulating the information, I'd like to able to at least track it back to an IP address and time/date - which using the email software will narrow it down to a specific prospective customer. And while someone may counter that anyone with the link could download it, that is true, but you can set the link to expire in a day or two, which greatly decreased the likelihood of this...
