If you can't fit the whole dataset on your laptop, I don't think there's any getting around that ;). IPFS (and likely a number of other tools) just make it easy to pull the bits you need from the larger dataset to your local machine (so you can run your local analysis), while still providing a way to securely identify both the dataset as a whole and the subset(s) you accessed.
