Upload a blue file to make it turn black Grey - the file/directory is in the warehouse but not on your local computer. Download the file to make it turn black Red - the file/directory resides both on your local computer and in the warehouse but they have different checksums. The files may be different. If you forget….

If a file is grey, you can download it by right-clicking on the filename and selecting Download If a directory contains grey files, you can download all of the files by performing the download at the directory level The same can be done at a higher level.
