Orange box icon meaning
What does this orange box icon means? I'm on desktop, windows 11.
Problem Solved 👏
Hi Nancy, I finally worked it out. It is definitely a Onedrive icon. Disabling Onedrive was not enough to get rid of the icon on the files. I had to actually uninstall it and do a restart. The icon on my files is now gone.
Just a note to anyone that is doing this to be aware that this will remove your Onedrive files from your computer but it is still available in the cloud. Maybe copy the files first just to be safe.
Thank you for trying to assist me with this 😀
How do I get rid of this icon. I understand it's a One Drive icon. How do I know what files are in the one drive cloud and which are on my computer? And how do I download them all to my computer before disabling one drive?
Should I disable one drive? Can I run dropbox and one drive on the same computer?
thanks.

Yes, you can run both OneDrive and Dropbox on the same computer. You just can't have them both syncing the same files. Both Dropbox and OneDrive have the ability to sync or backup your key folders such as Desktop, Documents, etc. If you activate that feature in both, you'll likely have issues as the two programs try to sync the same files.
As for your other questions, that's not really anything that we can answer here. You'll be better off asking on Microsoft's support forum.
