What are the differences between "Green tick icons" & "Solid green circle with the white check mark"
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-aaa9-67c985aa49b3 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?

The green tick icon means it is locally available (stored on your device) and can be opened when offline but if you have Storage Sense enabled these files will become online only again after an amount of time that you have set.
The solid green circle with a white tick means the file will always will be available on your device if you are offline (stored locally). The Storage Sense policy would not make this file online only after a certain period of time.
- This is how I understand it when using Windows devices. The white and green circles with check marks inside are treated differently only if Storage Sense is active. If Storage Sense is not used, files marked with either of these two status icons are treated equally, so are always on your device and available offline.
