Problems with OneDrive Syncing

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to share the problems that occur when I am syncing my OneDrive files.

 

Let me start from the beginning:

 

In February 2018, I got Office 365 Personal. All was great and worked perfectly. Now, in October, I got a new laptop and installed my previous Office Subscription, however, upon attempting to save a file to OneDrive, a "Sync Pending" icon next to the file appeared each time I tried to save a file. The only way I could make it online was to make it local on my new computer, but that is not what I wanted.

 

Now, any file that I save has an icon with a white circle, green outline with green tick in the middle. I do not know what this means or whether it is saved locally on my actual computer.

 

The rest of the files that I saved onto OneDrive from my previous computer have a cloud icon.

 

What I would really like from someone on here is just to give me the definitions of the following icons which appear next to files, so that I can find out what is even going on:

 

  • Blue cloud icon
  • Arrows in a circle "Sync pending"
  • Green coloured circle with a white tick
  • White circle with green outline with green tick in the middle

 

Thanks.
