Sharepoint vs file server

Question

I am coming from a traditional file server setup. I need to migrate to the cloud so that we can share all the files and folders from the old server. I plan on getting rid of the server and going to a peer-to-peer setup.

I do not fully understand if I can setup SharePoint to function in the same manner as the file server. How would public folders be setup so that the entire office would have access to them but keep control of the folders away from any single user, other than the Administrator.

Is it wrong to think of SharePoint as a file server with folders? How would OneDrive play a part in this conversion?
