Syncing Cloud Library with Large Library Issue

Dear Sir / Madam,


I am unable to get my music library to cloud sync. My library is about 3TB, so large. It does gather the info, which takes days. I have done this 3 times in full now. But then I get an error as soon as it completes the archiving, and says it cannot upload the library.


What is a realistic way of getting this resolved? Because I would really like to have access to my library using Apple Music.


Appreciate your help,


Carlo
