You can't have more than one account any more. The discussion thread is now locked. As of the date of posting, all information in this thread was accurate; however, it is no longer the case.

Assuming you have a massive body of work, you might need separate accounts for Photography, Vectors, Video and Generative AI.

Customers search for subjects, and sort by filters.
Duplicating the same content across multiple accounts will get you banned.
So my answer is no. There is nothing to be gained from splitting file types up into separate accounts.

Hope that helps.

I am saying is that I am not duplicating an image or vector to any account. I have team of about 5 persons and thinking to start Start adobe stocks, if I can't have accounts on my own name can I have accounts on my team members name possibly. (Not duplicating an asset or not using even a single image to upload again)

also thank you all for the valuable replies.

So Does that mean I can't Hire someone to work for me

There are creative agencies that supply stock imagery to Adobe Stock, but I assume they have a different Contributor Agreement. You'd have to contact Adobe directly to determine how one goes about entering into such an arrangement. Meanwhile, if you have signed and accepted the existing Contributor Agreement, you only have the right to submit images that you created yourself.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. PNGs, images, and AI generations all fall under the same general category of images. You can't, for example, upload a PNG with a transparent background and the same image as a JPEG with a solid background. Once you're juggling a couple thousand or more images among multiple accounts, keeping track of them all to avoid duplications would be daunting. One account for images and another for videos, or maybe one for images and another for vectors, would seem more reasonable.

The guidelines for multiple accounts are on this help page:

Why do you want to create multiple accounts? There are benefits to keeping all assets in one account.

It's better not to multiply accounts. you may get banned for that. However, in the past, Adobe tolerated people having different accounts for different types of assets. You need to be careful not to submit the same or similare assets to different accounts. If you submit vector assets, Adobe generates JPEG and PNG files from those assets. I wouldn't really create more than two accounts (Generative AI and non AI). It get's fast unmanagable.
