The same thing as every “design” minimalistic icon.

A cryptic symbol with no direct meaning I am afraid

Isn’t that effectively what the floppy disk is to most computer users today?

Not exactly. It can be confusing at first, but then you see that it’s a standard in most apps, and you’re fine. The most curious ones will look for more info and find the historical roots.

In other words, the floppy disk has meaning, just like most proverbs that come from ancient roots, but are still used and understood everywhere.

An arrow pointing into a box, like the download icon. That’s all I can really think of…

But what if the software has both options, to save and to download?

A vault or filing cabinet.🗄 Or, every file can track all the state-changes with every keytype or click and update the permanent file whenever there’s a pause in activity.
