Good one. You are correct. The text beside it says "OneDrive for Business notification icons signify that sync is in progress. This includes when you are uploading files, or OneDrive is syncing new files from the cloud to your PC."

The arrows are not clickable, and I just created a new empty folder, and that got the aarows as well

On a second examination, Vilmand, I would say you are correct. There seems to be a cloud prominent in all the one drive icons with Arrows. See here:
