Green checkmark with white background explanation
I have seen the official meaning: "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," but what does that me...

Available files are the result of an online-only file that was opened by you/third-party app, like Rich mentioned above. There’s no option to make an offline file available instead (you can only set it as online-only after that).
If you right-click on a folder with the green border icon, do you see an option to make it online-only or offline?
For folders with a solid green icon, I do see the option to make them online only. It seems a strange that there is an icon for the green border and a green checkmark (offline and online now, but could be moved to online only if you run out of space on your machine) with no control over designating files/folders as such.
In any case, my questions are resolved. Thank you.
