We use Explorer in a browser (link) to replace Windows Explorer.
- Thanks Paul ! Still exploring some alternate option without a need of buying additional licenses.
Clear. There are not many options:
a. use OneDrive for Business client.
You can try to reduce the amount of offline content by using Storage Sense to automatically remove local content after 1 day/week/month.
b. map network drive
Not my favorite. Dependency on IE/Edge settings and the underlying protocol WebDAV is not Microsoft's strategic direction.

c. use local installed apps to expose SharePoint as a network drive but they all cost money.Adopting the web approach may be the only free option.
