The Note 8 can't be configured as adoptable storage by default. Here's a thread with a possible work around that doesn't require root: https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...ternal-storage-like-other-android-phones.html
Looks like they can in Korea, it's mentioned in this video:

But I can't find away here in the states.
I didn't think that allowed you to move the entire app over to SD, just portions of it.After changing the setting in Developer options. Go to Settings > Apps > App Manager > Select the app > Storage. From there you can choose to move the app to external storage.
Hope this helps,

so why allow large cards???
been the case unless rooted.
it's not rooted yet so the N8 remains a mystery, but on my other devices, yeah, you can move it. it's a permissions thing. if you root and give up knox (block it) you can have control.So, even though the app isn't coded to allow move to SD, if you root you can move it anyway? And it still works?

I wouldn't move them if they didn't work afterward, that said, all I really care about right this minute is that permission be given to apps, that I allow by picking, to utilize the external storage for things beyond photos, like email attachments for example. now I have to manually move them using dropsync and then delete them from the main. waste of time.Okay, but not so much the question. Being able to move it and having it still work would seem to be exclusive things. It seems if an app isn't written to allow that type of operation, then it wouldn't matter if you had authority to move it.
