In the latest version of SharePoint when you login to the portal, you will have feel like you are using File Explorer and you don't need such feature. However, in case you are referring to ability to Sync files, then you may try use OneDrive and Sync your device's folder with SharePoint through OneDrive and you also have ability to drag and drop files inside Microsoft Edge from your File Explorer.
Update to SharePoint: Opening with Microsoft Edge
With Internet Explorer going away and being replaced with Microsoft Edge, will there be an option to open SharePoint folders via MS Explorer while using MS Edge (I saw a post from 2013, but it wasn't helpful)?

2021-01-13T12:30:01.463+00:00 I need to do the same thing and with the use of Notepad I achieved this. Not quick but it works without any specialised IT knowledge.
I went to the document library I wanted to open in File Explorer.
Using the COG went to Library Settings and in here I could see the Web Address, which I highlighted and copied. I could not copy from the address bar as it converts all the spaces to "%20"Inside Notepad I pasted this web address and it will look something like this:
http://Yoursharepointtype.with.its.address.here/sites/sitename/possiblesubsitename/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx
I then deleted the last 2 items: /Forms/AllItems.aspx
I then copied the remains, opened File Explorer and pasted this into address bar and hit return.
This open what I needed. -

i have solved this with the "Internet Explorer Mode" and an XML lying on a webserver.

2020-08-07T01:38:01.8+00:00 So far, Microsoft Edge does not support opening document libraries with Open with File Explorer.
The Microsoft Edge browser is designed to be periodically updated. Make sure you have the latest version as features can change or be added.
Currently, Internet Explorer is the only browser that can open with Explorer.
