Migrate local Shared Drive contents to O365 and get experience like One drive
Have you seen what the free Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool can do? It's definitely worth checking out for migrations to SharePoint Online!
It can migrate file shares to SharePoint Online and is quite capable though there are plenty of 3rd party solutions available that can do even more like ShareGate:

Sorry, my question was how we could get same behavior like one drive for Corporate Shared drives, not the migration toll though. all i want to know what all other organization doing for large local shared drive contents once they go to O365?
SharePoint Teams sites and document libraries are how you do that, it offers a similar experience to OneDrive for group collaboration.

- You use SharePoint, it’s literally almost the same UI and code base. If it looks different the sites you’ve used or seen may be using the old classic design.
You can setup a site and use the document library on the site as your repository. You can sync and use the library exactly the same.
The biggest current gap between onedrive and SharePoint is files restore but usually you wouldn’t use that on a shared library but the functionality is coming in the near future.
