With the standard license, not the extended one, is it possible to upload an image to servers like [link deleted by moderator] for example?

You can use an asset for your website, but you are not allowed to upload the full size asset.

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).

I don't know what the purpose of that website is, but if you read clause 7.1 of the License Terms it is clear that you cannot upload the licensed file in a manner that allows a third party to access the asset as a stand-alone file.

I mean using a server so that a friend with whom we are developing an app can see what that asset looks like with text over it, but it is only because the code did not accept importing it locally, it was a complicated issue with a variable number from a code python in between. That image would work as a recovery email, but since you inform me this is better not to use it. It's hard to explain, but only for testing and application development purposes, I'll look for some other alternative, thanks.

You can also download from Adobe a "comp", that is an unlicensed small version of the image that still has the Adobe Stock watermark on it, thus eliminating the possiblity that it could be used incorrectly.
