When we sync our sharepoint online document libraries using OneDrive desktop app, we got these 2 icons inside the Status column:-
i read this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-do-the-onedrive-icons-mean-11143026-8000-44f8-aaa9-6... but i am still confused about the differences between these 2 icons.. as in both icons we will have a local copy of the file that will be synced with the online version is this correct?

@ganeshsanap This does still not solve my confusion, because in the case below, I have marked a folder as "Always keep on this device", however it still has a white circle rather than a green one:
Can I assume that there is effectively no difference between the two icons, i.e. in both cases the data is stored locally?

@MaxMarschall I haven't tried yet but it could be that when you set the solid green, the file/folder will be always available on any device, whilst when on the green thick icon the file/folder is always available on that device, but will be online only (blue thick cloud) on another device when you set up OneDrive on it.
