SharePoint folders (document libraries) may be synced to your local computer just like OneDrive folders. You also get extra flexibility to split up files into different document libraries with different permission sets, including say the ability to make some files read-only to specific audiences.
What do you mean by "massive files"? SharePoint/OneDrive supports files up to 100GB but the suitability depends on how you work with those files.

Mike Williams I very much appreciate your time and suggestions, the condescending part was where you told me not to pursue knowledge in a forum but just do my own independent research.

Whether someone replies or not is up to the individual.
Again, thanks for your contribution – I'll be raising this with my organisation. Your original reply has been marked as best answer. 🙂
