YouTube Music accounts may get space to upload files
If you have a YouTube Music account, you may be given server space to upload and store certain content from your computer, such as music files that can include metadata and album art. The policy calls this Stored Music Content. The wording is that you may be provided with the space, so the page does not promise that every YouTube Music account has it.
