Dropbox icon with checkbox white interior remains a mystery.

As to the green outlined icon with a tick inside, the explanation reads…
"A circle with a green border and a green checkmark means that a file was opened (directly or with a third-party application) and synced."
I find this confusing as well, since I'm only relating to dropbox as a Finder folder, opening any file necessarily involves a third-party application, where whether it be TextEdit, or MS Word, so that's kind of a given... and of course, if it's modified, it should sync and populate to other devices. So to my mind, this is normal standard behavior and doesn't require a new and different icon to signal something other than "A solid green circle with a white checkmark means your file is synced and available offline." Right?
