Hi there, Bruno!


Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to know what the dotted cloud icon means in relation to iCloud. We're happy to help!


The dotted cloud icon indicates that file(s) are waiting to be uploaded/synced to iCloud. You can get more information on the various iCloud status symbols in the Apple Support article Identify cloud status icons in your music library on your Mac or PC - Apple Support, which applies to all iCloud status symbols (not just those in your music library).


Have a wonderful day.
