A folder shows a green checkmark that's not the same as the ones on my other folders

I dragged a folder into my DROPBOX folders. This one shows up with a blue checkmark but is not solid. Is it backed up? I do not see any options that are helping me. See the image below    ...

    It means the file was likely marked as Online-only and was later opened, which would download the file back to your computer and mark it as Available.

     

    If you want the file to always be available locally, right-click on it and select Make available offline. It will change to solid green with a check mark.
