Honestly, I doubt it. I really think that if you asked most Kobo users what they thought of this, they wouldn't have a clue why it was useful. At best, you'd get a "that's nice", but no real interest in using it. And don't say, "but everyone here wants it". The fact of the matter is that anyone here at MR are not normal Kobo users. We are not really part of Kobo's target market. Or Amazon's or B&N's for that matter. There are far to few of us to be important to them.

As to this function, my impression is that it will not be coming to any of the other devices any time soon. I don't know why. Kobo might view it as a premium function for users of their premium device. Or, there might be a limitation placed on them from Dropbox on how it gets used. Or, it could just be a marketing idiot who thinks this will sell more of the Forma. But, I expect that the next device that gets Dropbox support will be the Forma Edition 2 or whatever Kobo decides to call it when they update the device.
