[Owncloud] Please put MB after the filesize in the "Files" view

[Danial Bulloch]

I noticed that afterwards. I suppose I can see the logic, but I
disagree that it is a good idea. Standard practice, of nearly every
file manager in the history of file managers is to show the units next
to it. When I don't see MB, I just see a number that has an unknown
meaning. I realize that you will quickly learn that it is always in
MB, but it still feels off to me, redundant or not. I don't know how
granular the settings are going to going to get, but I'd be happy with
a toggle option somewhere in the main settings or even a config file
somewhere. I'm not a developer and don't plan on submitting code, so
if no unit is the way you guys want it, that's fine with me, just
thought I would share my thoughts on the topic.
