Issue

Summary

After updating to version 6.2, MEGA consistently throws an error when synchronizing empty files. The issue did not occur in previous versions.

Steps to Reproduce (For Bug Reports)

List the steps to reproduce the issue:

Update MEGA to version 6.2
Have an empty file in a synchronized folder
Let the synchronization process run
Observe that an error occurs during sync related to the empty file


What happened?

MEGA reports an error when attempting to synchronize an empty file. Even after manually deleting the file both locally and in the cloud, the file gets recreated automatically, and the error reappears during subsequent sync attempts. This results in a persistent sync issue that cannot be resolved through manual deletion.


What did you expect to happen?

Empty files should synchronize without errors, as in previous versions. Deleting a problematic file should resolve the issue rather than causing it to be recreated and trigger repeated sync errors.


Environment Details

Provide details about the environment where the issue occurred.

  • OS: Windows 11 (in two devices)
  • MEGASync Version: 6.2 (613e7a0)
