Feature: Differentiate between files which are available both online and offline and files which are only available offline #17750
Description
What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
As the screenshot shows, in File Explorer, the file has that circular icon next to it to show that it's available on-device and hasn't been synced to OneDrive, differentiating it from the files with the green ticks which are available on-device and have been synced to the cloud.
Meanwhile, in the Files app, no icon is displayed there, and it just says "Unknown". And when you hover over the files with the checks in the Files app, it just says that they're "available offline", so I know they're on my computer but don't know whether they're also backed up to the cloud.
Use case: enable the user to know whether their work has been backed up without needing to open File Explorer, making it easier for the user to work on different devices in different locations and know whether their work will be available
Requirements
- Add a different icon for files which are available on-device but have yet to be synced
- Change the hover menu when you hover over the sync icon to say "Available offline and in the cloud" or "Only available offline" depending on whether the file's been backed up
