Empty files do not take up any space

[A. Bram Neijt]

This may seem stupid, but I think it should be looked at. Currently files and directories do not take up any space on the service. I've created a large collection of empty files and directories and even though they are perfectly accessible at the web service, the counter still says 0 bytes used.

I think that it should be considered a bug if empty files do not take up any space, for example, this bash script does not take up any space:
for i in {0..10};do
 mkdir -p $i
 cd $i
 touch 'entry'
 for a in {0..50}; do
  mkdir -p $a
 done;
done;

I would expect directories and empty files to at least take up 1 byte, to make sure I do not have unlimited storage by using only empty files with special names.

Hi A. Bram Neijt,

First of all, thank you very much for your report! This is not stupid at all. We're aware of this issue, but right now we're focusing on more critical issues.

Thank you again! Naty.
