[Bedrock] Be Able to Move Cached Resources to Global Resources

I believe that in the "Storage" tab in the settings, there should be a way to move cached resources (i.e. resource packs downloaded from LAN/multiplayer/Realms worlds) into global resources.

This would allow the Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch, and PS4 to install things like addons and resource packs (and be the only way at the moment to install packs into the global resources).

    We should be allowed to use downloaded resources as global resources just like in every other version of Minecraft Bedrock.

    I know this post is old but I have also run into the same thing and figured that even if the original poster doesnt see this someone else will. I think the cached packs goto this file directory, "/data/user/0/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/treatments/treatment_packs2/RandomCharacters=". I found this in the "/storage/emulated/0/games/com.mojang/minecraftpe/valid_known_packs.json" file as I have a few cached packs and realized that this is different from what I normally find while scrolling down the list of valid known packs, "/storage/emulated/0/games/com.mojang/resource_packs/PackFolderName". I have been unable to find the cached files unfortunately and can not figure out why this is, this is from an android user by the way if the directories look weird to you.

    I have found a way to do this on PC. The path is: C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\minecraftpe\packcache\resource
    And that's all the cached packs.
    Hope this helps :)

    My Freind has this awesome pack that we use when we join his world but when I leave it goes to cached files I would love to use it in my own worlds so this needs to be a feature

    Please vote! I am an Xbox Series S user on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Preview and I think I know why you do not have a “Download” button on the cached data. THE PACK MIGHT COST MONEY. This is a good reason to have no download button, but, the pack creators should be able to put in “cachedDataDownload”:true or something like that to make everybody that has it in cached data to be able to move it to it’s designated folder. Please fix this Mojang, I have explained a “patch” so it should not be hard. EVERYBODY PLEASE VOTE I mean seriously it is a NEED to have in Minecraft. PS: Thx for reading and please take this seriously, I guarantee there are many more people out there that would like this but have not seen this post. THANK YOU!
