In File Explorer, if you click "This PC", you have a section called "Devices and Drives" and another section named "Network Locations". In both sections you see "drives", each with the following attributes:
1. Drive Letter
2. Drive Name/Path/Description (e.g. OS for the C: drive, DVDRW Drive for the D: drive; USB Drive for the I: drive, a network path for a network drive such as F
3. An Icon for that drive that seems to indicate the type of drive.
4. A status bar that shows total drive capacity and used space (blue/red bar).
Is there a guide or some kind of documentation online that explains what all these different icons mean? And what changes they go through depending on the state of that drive? For example, if the F: drive is mapped to a network location that is currently accessible, there is a green bar on the icon that i think means "working/ok". If that network location is unavailable (the server goes down), doesnt it change to something else (red X?). Is there a list of all the different status indicators that drives can have? I have heard of a "blue question-mark" being one of the choices as well but i cant find any documentation about what that means. And are there others as well. Just looking for an overall guide to all the various ways those drives can be shown and what status they are in. Thanks in advance!
