Storing past matches data through PlayFab?

The game we are making is deterministic in nature and as such we are recording all player actions and the turn the action was taken on and would like to store it somewhere so other players can download the file and view at as a replay (since everything is deterministic).

The replays will be unique to the participating players at first but players will be able to share replays and somtimes we'd like to publish good replays between skilled players for all players to see.

Can PlayFab store this info? If so, what is the best way to store it?

Yes, we have a Content service where you can store large data. It's a CDN, with the cost being tied to what you use (there's some amount of download per month included with each tier, and then the rate after that is also determined by your tier - we can talk through specifics with you as part of choosing your title's tier). The way this would work is that your custom game server would aggregate the info on the session and then write out the replay file when it's ready - that way, your storage space can't be compromised by a hacked client.
