    OneDrive on two computers - how to prevent overwriting newer files by older files from...


    I'd like to work on files located on OneDrive on two computers, but theres an issue. When I work on desktop computer and then I turn on my laptop, OneDrive uploads files from laptop destroying my work made on desktop computer. This issue happens also backwards - when I work on laptop and then turn on desktop computer OneDrive also uploads older files from desktop computer and overwrites newer files from laptop. Can you help me?

    :)
