The only way to know which device edited a file is to look at the Version History of that file. When you hover over the name of the person that made the edit, it will show the device name that was used. Just make sure your devices have different names and you should be all set.
The exception to this is conflicted files, which will have the name of the device that created the conflict appended in parentheses to the file name.
