there were ideas to support uploading to some kind of file server from dc directly. would not be that complex, maybe like video chat links you could add a fileserver instance.
I personally think chatmail shouldn't offer free file hosting. Storing large files is expensive and anonymous large file uploads could be attractive for criminals.
So should be bring your own fileserver/nextcloud whatever or buy storage.
