Mac mini M4 - running OS 26.1
Just upgraded iCloud storage to 2TB...200 GB now in the cloud.
All my Desktop folders now display a small down-arrow icon next to the folder names.
Appreciate info on what these mean.....Thanx!

Yes, files will be in both locations and synced (meaning if you edit the file somewhere else all versions will be updated).
Many thanks for the clear-to-understand answer.
Are those folders also still in iCloud - ie stored in both locations?
That is the 'keep downloaded' icon.

Keep items downloaded on your Mac
If you turned on Optimize Mac Storage, older documents are stored in iCloud when space is needed. However, you can choose to keep certain files or folders downloaded on your Mac no matter what.
1. On your Mac, clickin the Dock to open a Finder window, then click iCloud Drive in the sidebar.
2. Control-click the items, then choose Keep Downloaded.
3. The Keep Downloaded iconappears next to the item’s name.
If you no longer want to keep an item downloaded, Control-click it, then choose Keep Downloaded (so the checkmark disappears).
