Strange symbol like a package on files. What is this?

    You are right! The symbol has changed now to a Dropboxsymbol: a white cloud on grey ground, indicating online files. Thanks so much for clarifying!

I just deinstalled One Drive. The symbol is still there...

Did you restart after the uninstall? If so and the icon is still present, I would suggest contacting Microsoft as it is not produced by Dropbox.
