I'm in a similar company, but the main issue is that almost all modern solutions store the data in the "cloud", which isn't acceptable in that situation. Either my company has a contract for that tool (not our level of decision), or we have to store the data in-house.
Very few tools are made for self-hosting or using mapped shared drives nowadays.
Shameless plug here. Exactly why FileCloud does the job in this condition. You expose your shared network drive over the network and then via FileCloud it is just seamless access to those documents etc. no more slow vpn.
We run a server internally and all our documents are stored there.
