Hello All,
We have an on premises file server running on windows server 2012r2 with the size of 57 TB. Since we have moved completely to office 365 solutions hence we are looking for an option for a backup of data in azure then migrate all the files to sharepoint online so that folders can be mapped to user's machine.
Kindly help us with a suitable way to achieve this.

    Take a look at this article about Migrating File Shares to Microsoft cloud. It was written sometime ago, so some figures could be outdated, but the context and details are still relevant.

    What you can do to move the data to Azure, is to use Microsoft Azure Box. That way you can move your 57 TB data much more quickly. And once in Azure, you can use any migration tool to move them to SharePoint. It's much faster that day as the data will already be in Azure.

    I would agree that if the goal is to migrate into Sharepoint online I would recommend migrating their directly. I will refer you to the following page which outlines some different methods available for migrating data into Azure.
