Understanding the status icons and context menu in WorkDrive TrueSync on macOS based on FPE

Overlay icons

The overlay icons or the status icons within the WorkDrive TrueSync folder depict the synchronization status of your files and folders.

Let's see the different status icons below:

Notes
Notes:
  1. TrueSync status icons will now appear alongside the default FPE icons.
  2. The FPE icons and storage are managed by macOS.


File Provider Extension (FPE) icons

TrueSync icons

Overlay icon behavior in WorkDrive TrueSync for macOS

Info
Important: 
  1. Overlay icons have been refreshed to align with other system icons.
  2. Sometimes, users may experience TrueSync application slowness or observe missing overlay icons for files and folders. These issues are associated with FPE. Resolving them involves relaunching the Finder application, which can address errors related to file provider icons and other Finder-related issues.

Here's the overview of how Overlay icons will appear and how data gets stored in the TrueSync cache and FPE cache path:

NotesNote: To prevent confusion, it's recommended to focus on and utilize only the TrueSync icon behavior, rather than trying to understand the combination of both TrueSync and FPE icons.
