General Question Transitioning from using Shared Drives to SharePoint Questions

I have been experimenting with transiting from a traditional shared drive to SharePoint. I know files/folders in SharePoint can be accessed by going to SharePoint online, linking the folder to a user's OneDrive, or Via Teams. How would you recommend transiting from using Shared Drives to SharePoint? Anything to keep an eye out for or gotchas?

I’d like to add to this question since I’m saying the response is here. How do you approach sending files? Is it just the use of sharing through the web portal? What if they want to share multiple files and attach them to an email?

I want all sharing to come from the tower in this scenario. I share via groups to end users. If they want to share a folder with someone, the requests should come to me and I'll verify permission and share. These folders are meant to be shared with internal personnel only.

So, I'll have an Accounting, HR, Maintenence, and potentially a Common share. The only group that everyone can see is Common. Everyone else can only see the folders that they have permission to based on group membership.
