Up arrow to a cloud, or down arrow to a platter (which, ironically, is also out-of-date)

nice try Microsoft
You just described upload and download, not save.
is there a difference between download and save?
You're viewing information held in temp memory and are committing it to a hard drive or more permanent cloud drive for later retrieval.
Yes there is a difference. If you already have the information on your drive you don't download every time you make an edit.
I think you've misunderstood my point:
Web app > data is in temp > save commits it to disk
Offline app > data is in temp > save commits it to disk
does "temp" meaning RAM, user directory, remote cloud directory, browser temp files, WordPress backend db and "disk" meaning hard drive or one-drive or Google drive or the permanent remote cloud directory, or production db significantly alter the concept of the function?
Might be controversial, but I think "no." I don't think there is a difference between me "saving", for example, a web page in WordPress as the final version, and me "saving" the offline wire frame design to my hard drive, and me "saving" a PDF of the web page to my downloads folder.
No, download would be a down arrow from a cloud. "Saving" on a modern system typically implies a local cache paired with a cloud backend.
Not my fault that they're wrong.
Up arrow to Lakitu.
Hard to disk drives are still around but you might want to make it look generically like a generic that could also be an SSD just as easy
Congratulations on the drugs, I guess
That or posting on mobile while sleep deprived as fuck. Rereading a post made in bed the night prior is always a humbling experience.
Hey they tried! 😂
The difficult part would be depicting a SSD. It's just a rectangle.
The chip icon, you know the one next to the other chip icon.
Maybe put a folder inside the rectangle?
And a cloud inside the folder. And a floppy disk inside the cloud.
A folder depiction almost always means open or load from directory
Tell that to anyone needing a large amount of storage that is instantly available; the newest HDDs with 30TB storage hit the central European market this July. Remarkably, the best value offering is a 28TB HDD @ 14,25€ / TB.
