Sync Office365 with AD
You have to "match" the users, either via Primary SMTP Address (soft match) or via objectGUID (hard match). Here are links with more detail:

VasilMichev thank you for answer, could you tell me please how I can protect if something going wrong , I mean how I can role back ? do I have any risk to lost emails or ...?
thank you very much,
There's no rolling back, the accounts will be "linked". You can always backup any email/documents first.
VasilMichev thank you for answer, could you tell me please I choose hard match way one by one sync AD account with existing office365 accounts , but how about user groups how I can create on premise and sync with my existing groups on Azure AD
thank you very much for your help
There is no "matching" process for groups, if you want to manage them centrally you'll have to sync them, and optionally remove the cloud-created ones.
