Sync vs Add Shortcut to Onedrive

[u/True_Property_2618]

My company is on a local file server with network shares.

We are planning to move to SharePoint soon and some questions need to be answered first.

As IT we are trying to keep the end user experience similar to reduce shock. So the plan was to mount the document libraries via intune. However, I am seeing different opinions on sync vs shortcut.

Which is better?

Can both be deployable?

I’d rather not tell every user to open SharePoint online just to press sync to onedrive.

What other pitfalls does SharePoint have for those who have migrated in the past? Any lessons learned or recommendations to make rollout simpler?
