Back-up worlds function via SD card

Having suffered 2nd Kids Fire HD 10 tablet which failed, my son lost hundreds of hours of work creating worlds. Files are stored locally but not accessible since last update. Workaround is to save to a realm but is very difficult to do due to Kids Fire tablet account restrictions and additional costs.

Propose new functionality where back-ups can be made via local SD card on the tablet or to a cloud service of choice. If old tablet is destroyed or lost, then the sd card can simply be transferred to the new table or backed-up worlds can be downloaded from a cloud storage.

    Workaround: Try to send the tablet for repair, if possible.

    If your kids or yourself have a Microsoft/Mojang account that you connect to Minecraft, you also get a Onedrive account, as far as I know. (My own Microsoft account is from the '90s, so I've no idea how people these days have it.) I don't know how Onedrive integration for backing up and transfering data does not exist after all this time that Onedrive has been around and Microsoft has owned Mojang/Minecraft.

    Nintendo Switch also needs this feature.
