Similar is the save icon, though for a different reason. It conveys its function well, but one first needs to know what a floppy disk even is!

Nah, people especially younger ones associate the floppy disk with the save button

A lot of apps people use these days are cloud-first and automatically save all the time, so there's not even a save button to have a floppy icon for! The icon to say that it's synced looks like a cloud, and if you're using a web browser it'll probably have a Download button with a download icon. No floppy disks in sight.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's computer users out there that wouldn't recognise the "save icon".

RIP in peace

My daughter understood what the Chrome icon was for before she could even spell ‘Chrome’.
