In the U.S., the Galaxy Note 8 is only available to purchase with 64GB of built-in storage. For many, this just isn’t enough storage space, especially when you account for the size of 4K videos, photos, and music. Thankfully, Note 8 owners can add up to 256GB of additional storage via microSD card…
