Use Adobe Stock images
Adobe Stock images can be used in place of uploading your own image content. One common use case is to upload and place image content when creating a page.
The Media Gallery provides a direct integration with Adobe Stock, making it easy to license your images directly from the gallery page.

To license images or to save already-licensed images, you must be logged in to your Adobe account.
