Ok, here is the thing. By default, doing what you did should work. I can
confirm it works because I just tried it (see long block of text at the end
of mail).
However, it does look like you edited your FILES setting. The default is
FILES = {'files': ''}
That means "take the content of the files folder and copy it to the
output". Seems you have changed it to
FILES = {'files': 'files'}
That means "take the content of the files folder and copy it to the output
in the files subfolder"
So, put it back as it was and all good.
Here is how it works by default:
nikola ~/P/nikola master ± nikola init -q foo2
[2018-03-20T15:14:15Z] INFO: init: Created empty site at foo2.
nikola ~/P/nikola master ± cd foo2
nikola ~/P/n/foo2 master ± touch files/CNAME
nikola ~/P/n/foo2 master ± nikola build
