Update Folder Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for sync controls on a shared drive or project directory, pulling every change to this device; and backup status rows for a watched directory in a desktop client while a rescan is running. For replacing 1 document with a newer version, keeping its link, use the Update File icon. For a directory row that finished syncing and is now current, use the Folder Added icon. For a 2-way sync with a connected calendar or mail account, use the Arrows Circle icon.

Folder with two circular refresh arrows inside, for syncing directories, refreshing contents and backups. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.
