Hello Kanchana, welcome to the Community!

Confluence Cloud doesn't use the Office connector like you may have experienced with Confluence Server. Instead, when clicking the "Edit with" option in a preview, users will see the option to install the Atlassian Companion if they don't have it already:

From there, files should open in the native application on the local computer (Word for docx, Excel for xlsx, etc). When the file is saved, it will re-upload to Confluence Cloud as a new version of the attachment. No Office Connector app required.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel. I did try this option. Unfortuantely I only get the option to download for Mac. 

even with the updates are completed in either word or excel, they updated file doesn't seem to re-upload the file to Confluence and none of the updates get saved either.

Yes, I have seen some browsers fail to show the download buttons correctly. Another way to get the Windows installer is by going here:
