Description
This issue has been migrated from [#1328](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1328).
---
Quite a nice feature in Amdocs UC is that all content in the content repository is named based on a hash of the contents. This means that even if people upload lots of duplicates of the same file (e.g. hundreds of identical animated GIFs) they don't waste disk space. Might be nice to have this in synapse too.
