Will files ever be a true storage solution for iphone? Meaning if I want to save a pdf or even a different file type thats executable to files, can I do that? Cause I hate how when I airdrop a pdf file it only gives me limited options and no place to save...

You’ve been able to download PDF as long as I can remember and I got on board in iphone 3G. If by “download... executable” you mean download and run an IPA then, no, that won’t be possible on iOS 11. As Apple continue to align the sandbox on macOS and iOS it may be possible in the future, but i wouldn’t bet on it.
