I would point out that IPFS provides no encryption out of the box, you're just layering this below something that encrypts that could equally well work on Dropbox. Filecoin atleast has a integrated payment structure but modern storage providers are pretty damn cheap (I pay ~10$ for 3TB of data including ingress/egress) When I last checked by filecoin they could only barely compete with AWS storage options (which quickly get very expensive)

For clarification: IPFS has transport encryption by default. IPFS does not encrypt content itself for you.

  Transport encryption isn't something I'd mention when talking about "Encrypted File Storage", I'd assume that to either don't matter or be the default.
