will appear in front of any file downloaded on your iDevice . Tap on the little red circle to show the delete confirmation button.

After few seconds your files will be updated.

On the pictured example the first screenshot indicate that we have some pending updates into the "Espace R&D". Tapping the folder will show its content on the second screenshot we see that the file named "background" has been updated on the Jdrive account. This means that the version of the file contained in our iDevice and the version on the JDrive account are not the same.
In this case by hitting the file an action view will show up with 2 options "Show Me The previous Version" will open the version existing in your iDevice so an older version. If you choose the second option "Download the new version" this will download the current version from the JDrive account and definitely delete the one located on your iDevice.
