Allow Minecraft Bedrock saves to be stored in accessible folders on Android

Suggestion:
Please allow Minecraft Bedrock on Android to save worlds in a user-accessible folder, such as Documents or Games, instead of the restricted /Android/data/ directory.

Why this matters:

• Easier Backups: Players could more easily back up their worlds using standard file managers or cloud sync tools.

• World Transfers: Moving saves between devices or sharing them with friends would become much simpler.

• Better User Control: The current location restricts access to players' own content, limiting autonomy and usability.

Implementation idea:
Offer an optional in-game setting to choose an accessible save location that complies with Android’s scoped storage policies. This ensures both user control and platform security.

  A "world exporter" feature would be a great addition. This would allow players to export their worlds regardless of the selected “File storage type” (Application or External).

  I would like to EXPORT and IMPORT worlds DIRECTLY from the game! Also save to the cloud, with OneDrive, since we use a Microsoft account.

  In fact, that is something already available on Minecraft: Education Edition. See Support Center Home > Learn to play -> Game Features > Cloud Upload and Download and Support Center Home > Learn to play > Teaching With Minecraft > Import, Export, and Manage Worlds
