Morphology
The meaning 'an area used to store things' is directly and compositionally derived from 'storage' (a location/system for holding items) + 'space' (an area). This noun-noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic compounding pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Storage space comes from a simple picture: storage means a place for keeping things and space means an area. Imagine an attic, a shelf, or the inside of a phone where you put boxes or files, and that is why it now means any area 'to store' things.
