You will notice these icons next to folders and files:
The green check mark means a file is synced both on your computer and our cloud server.
The blue turning arrows states that a sync is in progress this will happen automatically and ensure your files are safe.
The cloud icon means this file is in the cloud. Once you click on it you will save a local copy and the icon will turn to the green checkmark.
By default, everything within the following folders is synced:
Desktop, Documents, Microsoft Team Chat Files, Pictures and Recordings.
You can add folders in the Settings menu of OneDrive.
