Re. your point 1, see [here](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/adding-empty-files-to-a-database-breaks-sync-silently/62808/2).

Re. 3: The trash is synced too, so (in this specific case) it makes sense to me that potentially damaging files will prohibit sync; the point of trash being that you can still recover what is in the trash.
