If your product is about sharing in small group then it's best if the freemium plan allows only public sharing so users have an incentive to pay.
Next step is to make sure that users who like sharing publicly don't sign up in the first place because they're not your target audience and public sharing can come with support headaches (think about copyright claims for example).
Does your pay-for plan already include a free trial period? Be it a week or month, it forces users to make a decision to upgrade. In my experience lots of users simply forget and reminders/ads don't work well as they can be ignored.
