You need to have the OneDrive App on your desktop/laptop to sync your files. This should be installed on Windows 10. If it isn't or has been deleted, you should see a link to download this when syncing your files.

If you edit a file when you aren't connected to the internet, and other people also edit the file, more than one version of the file might be saved, each with different changes.
