When the Web Portal is implemented it should have options for both Hero Lab and Realm Works. The players should be able to view and make limited (I doubt web can handle full functionality?) changes to the sheet. Any changes made here sync back to the cloud.
DropBox, OneDrive, or many other cloud services already provide the capability to share files. You could mandate that all players keep their portfolios in a shared cloud folder.

This would then reduce the requirement down to HeroLab supporting having characters from multiple files displayed in a "single portfolio" view, and monitor for changes to files so that it can prompt the user to ask if they want to reload the updated character's portfolio.

I don't see the need to store player's character HL portfolios inside RW.
