The profile pictures could be used for many kinds of analysis, both automated (automatic image processing) and experimental (ask participants to rate profiles or pictures etc.).
There can be multiple images per profile, so there is a question of how they are to be stored. One could create a folder per profile and drop them in there. Alternatively, one could use a large folder with images named after the profile.
Both approaches could give problems with the use of special characters in the names. Especially Windows is picky.
One could also implement compression to save disk space if necessary.
