Sending files securely has been hard and will continue to be for the time being. First off, good on you for trying to explain to users that email is not really meant for file transfer. There are a variety of security issues with using email for sending sensitive docs, but you obviously know that already. Here are some options:
Client-side software- arguably the most secure since the encryption occurs "pre-internet." Assuming all users are able to install the software (many companies have strict policies on what can be installed) and have the "know-how" to use the software (i.e. they are computer-literate) then this can be a great option. There are freely available tools for this exact purpose (e.g. axcrypt). The downside, is you still have to figure out how to send the files. In your situation with the 15MB limit, this may not be the best solution.
Server-side software (self-managed)- people have mentioned ownCloud. This is definitely an option, but you either have to deal with installing it yourself or running it on a provider. Assuming you don't want to set it up yourself (you may not have the time, trust that you'll set it up correctly/securely, etc.), you are then relying on a third party to host it for you. In my opinion, at this point you are no better off (security-wise) than using a service that does it all for you (which leads me to the next option...).
Secure file service- there are a ton of providers in this area. Generally, how they work is your users upload a file, the provider stores it, and provides a URL for file download. Not all providers are equal- make sure they encrypt the files on their servers and not only during upload/download with HTTPS, also password protection is likely a feature you'll want, otherwise anyone with the link can download the file(s). I Googled "send files securely" and the first result looks like a good option, https://www.sendfilessecurely.com.
Best of luck!
