Have you taken a look at resources in the upcoming 2.0?  You define
resources in your charm metadata and use "juju attach" to upload them
to the controller (e.g. "juju attach my-service/0
my-resource=/tmp/myfile.xyz"). *  Then charms can use the
"resource-get" hook command to download the resource file from the
controller.  "resource-get" returns the path where the downloaded file
was saved.

* You will also upload the resources to the charm store for charm store charms.
