Also keep owncloud/web#7764 (comment) in mind, this is very challenging to implement.

yes, I recalled that. It seemed to be solved in oc10 and would like to bring this issue back on the table, i.e. analyze/slice and estimate so that we can decide.

I noticed that WebKit does not allow to upload single empty folder. This works fine in Chrome and Firefox

As described in #1018:

Uploading via the upload button supports empty folders

This is not possible with non-Chromium browsers due to browser limitations.
