It was more than just a special icon for a folder, it had special behaviour too.

How much you bet that the code is still somewhere in explorer.exe?

Wait, isn't this similiar to the homesyncd thing?

I bet it's the same code that does the same sync today

I'd put even money that Offline Files is the same code just with a different UI.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that OneDrive has some of that code
