Allow Users to Choose To Ignore Empty Files or Not

[Ed-V]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

During syncing if a folder I noticed that it was saying it ignored a few empty files.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to keep empty files. Can toggle off/on.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
This allows the ability to keep the file and folders structure exactly as is. Some work uses them as place holders, flag, etc.

Sorely needed.

Yes. This seems almost like a bug to me. It makes most sense that by default all files, empty or not, are synced. And there can be an option to ignore empty files.

I'm just quietly adding that also empty directories. Not just files.

edit: I stand corrected: empty directories do get synced, as of 3.0.34

Noting that currently I'm seeing my empty files and directories appear on my Cloud Drive.

Edit: I don't know why i wrote that. I see empty directories but not empty files.

I only see empty directories, not empty files. Both when using

• sync and upload in the CLI app (v0.0.23),
• and sync in the desktop app (v3.0.34).

Albeit, only desktop app shows warnings that it has ignored empty files.

When using drag-and-drop in the browser, empty directories are not synced either (also without warnings).

Latest Desktop App under W10.
Empty directories are not backed-up too.
