The only thing you would need to make mandatory is a direct login to any storage service.

If it's a megabyte, who cares? You could have a way to split things or upload an update log, but it's not worth it.
If you need big attachments, then keep them outside the core vault file.

Sharing is where a dedicated service is useful.
But if a feature like that needs a paid service, it should be an optional upgrade.
This is one of those very rare cases with potentially huge negative effect to make it into a mandatory feature.

Whatever documents you want to securely share with others, various scanned docs, so it's not just a few megs, (e.g., Bitwarden offers up to 1G encrypted file attachments) (though don't use this either, mine is just a few megs)
