How do I get rid of the red exclamation points in Google Drive?

I just downloaded Google Drive for browser or desktop or whatever it's called since my storage remained at 80% although I downloaded and deleted big files and videos for months, and now I get this. Some images have the green check mark, which I assume is that the pictures are synced to Drive (correct me if I'm wrong), and some have the red exclamation point. How do I get rid of the red exclamation point so everything can be synced to the Drive?
