I think this is solid answer, IPFS is one of the examples.
Its great that it works even today and you can see great community there.

Sorry, but that is just not entirely true.

First of all, storing a hash is not storing the file. The OP specifically asked for storing a file and not just recording it's existence. What if someone wants to store a file that will be there even if all his computer equipment is destroyed?

Also, you can save all those files on the Blockchain fairly cheaply - no 100,000$ needed.

1 MB data can be split up on 8192 1-of-3 transactions using 2*64 byte from the second and third public key.

I am not sure how much overhead comes with each of those ... let's say it's 300 byte per transaction to calculate easier. That would make the 8192 transactions a total size of 2,4MB including overhead. Currently, 0.00001 BTC/kB is enough to get your TX confirmed. That would be 0.024576 BTC to store your 1 MB file incl. overhead.

That is 195.90 USD, not 100,000.00!

We are trying to run a project which every member will have about 500mb or 1gb files. Is it possible to store on blockchain?
or can you give some advice how to store every big files of members anonymously?
