Access file share from browser

We have 50+ users using Azure file share. 
when mapping the drive to their device the upload speed is very slow.
Although if i try to upload the same file using azure portal its very fast aswell as azure storage explorer.

Is there is a way to give access to the users to use file share through the web?

    Ahmadradwan the answer to the query has nothing to do with user access, this is completely performance oriented with respect to the system users use. what is the tier you have configured for File share - is it a Standard or Premium . the more I/O speed better the upload and download rate .

    Yes, there is a way to provide users with access to a file share through the web. Azure offers a feature called Azure File Sync that enables you to synchronize an Azure file share with an on-premises file server. With Azure File Sync, you can provide users with web access to the file share using Azure File Sync's cloud endpoint.

    You have 2 options to upload file with web:
    1. Provide access to the users with RBAC on the Storage account on the Azure portal.
    2. Upload a file to an Azure File Share using a web page, you can create a simple HTML form that allows users to select a file and submit it to your server-side code for processing.
