With IPFS yes. Also at this point in time I have felt its quite slow. May be once the Filecoin is launched, there will be more people hosting the peers and make the network faster. Keybase is right now much more faster for me. Also, with the message features, ability to send money to each other (XLM) and use of PGP that sounds like more popular and better solution now. But all this is assuming that there are real use cases. As you said, dropbox/onedrive/gdrive could be the sensible options right now. In the long term though I feel the storage will be moved away from S3 and such to solutions over IPFS (provided the benchmarks and claims holds true).
unless i offer storage. thats the whole thing with IPFS, you need to run a container and keep the file alive. then pin the item, so it stays there. I would be so happy if imgur started running an IPFS node :)
He will have to store the files regardless. Whether they are using IPFS or not.

IPFS is more "stylish", Hype creator and thus VC friendly ;-) Then, the obvious D-factor, encryption, earning FileCoin etc etc :-D
