Description
From: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/2886#issuecomment-446261587
> But it would be great if the meaning of the red cross is in some way explained to the user. Is it "broken file", "not accessible", "no download possible / server broken"... or "not up to date"?! I bet most users might assume one of the first explanations. Maybe you add a toast informing the user that there are outdated files that need to be synced manually while in a mobile network. And maybe a red/white clock would resemble "outdated" much better than a red cross. :-)

This is how it currently looks like when a file is locally outdated / newer than server file.
So we need a symbol for out of sync (local file is newer / older than server file).
Those are from https://material.io/tools/icons/
 
Aditionally, do yo have an idea how to explain this a bit more to the user?
