Sometimes when I am not confirmed about my image's category, so I go on Adobe Stock and search about those images. Sometimes I see that the category of the image which is not available for us. Like today I was searching about Rain because I wasn't confirmed of which category will it come. So When I searched on Adobe Stock I found an image that have the category of 'Rain'. This category is not available when we uplaod our images. So how these people do it?
By the way in which category should rain come?

The Environment. But it is not important. The category has no influence on how images are searched for or displayed.

The category is selected automatically when you upload to Adobe, and I never give it a thought and rarely change it. As others have said here, it's irrelevant anyway. It seems to be a hold-over from the early days when Adobe acquired Fotolia. Not sure why Adobe doesn't just eliminate it, but perhaps they just don't want to invest in the programming necessary to do so.

As I said, it's a parameter you can address in the API. There may be Adobe partners using that.

Categories are of no use except for people accessing stock via the API and selecting a specific category. Chose one that sounds good.

@RALPH_L is right. don't stress over the categories and "Environment" would be close enough. If 'rain' is an important aspect of your asset, include it in your title and keywords, along with, maybe, 'weather,' 'storm,' etc. (Just guessing here...without seeing the image, 'weather' or 'storm' may not be appropriate.)
