Sadly there is no upgrade options here. This model and the newer ‘16 & ‘17 models have soldered storage.

Here’s an image of the logic board the orange box is the Flash (SSD)

Your only option is to replace the entire logic board which economically doesn’t make sense. I would recommend you buy a new system with the bigger storage you want and sell your old one to recover some of the costs.

Yes, in China , they took the ssd chipset from another unit and soldered them onto another one. It can be done but only if you can find someone with the skills to do it.
