I don’t see a reason why not, does GIS data require a different storage protocol? All GIS data I store for work is in the format CODE, GEOTYPE, DATA
Railway volumes are limited to 5GB on hobby and 50+GB on pro. Storing images should be done on a different machine than the postgres db, so you would have 2x5GB volumes to work with.

If you're referring to the trial plan you would only get 0.5GB, if thats enough for you then sure but remember your credits will run out soon
