Fileserver in cloud

Question

Hi

We want to move our Windows Server file server into cloud with easy access to users with security just like a regular Windows Server file server.

1. Is SharePoint a good choice for this? If so briefly what is the setup process? Do we create a SharePoint site and upload files and set access permissions etc.?
2. How are users provided access to SharePoint 'file server'?
3. Is there a way to keep SharePoint site and on-premises server synced at all times so we could access documents from either?

Thanks

Regards

1.Yes, SharePoint Online is a good choice. You could create site collection first, store files in the site collection, then grant different users with different permissions.

2.You could store files in different libraries then grant users with different permissions for libraries. And you also could set unique permissions for single document.

6 locations can set security files SharePoint

3.You could sync SharePoint Online with local files through OneDrive.
