Add cloud save toggle in Settings in Bedrock Edition

Reason: Currently, the game automatically uploads saves to the cloud after exiting, giving players no choice to keep data local only.

Steps to reproduce missing option:

  1. Go to Settings → Storage in Bedrock Edition.
  2. Or Play → World Settings in Bedrock Edition.
  3. No option to enable or disable cloud sync exists.

Expected result:
Add a “Cloud Saves” ON/OFF toggle in Storage Settings or World Settings.

  • ON (default): Worlds sync automatically via Microsoft account.
  • OFF: All save data stays local only; no auto upload after exit.

    Absolutely necessary; my 7GB world doesn't fit in my OneDrive cloud storage, which is annoying. It's useful if you're on consoles or mobile devices, but not so much for PC if you know where your worlds are stored in Windows system memory.

    Microsoft forced cloud storage on us. This must either go completely or give us a toggle.

    And now it's bugged. It forces the world to be a cloud based world and now I can't access it. It just has an error stating "There was a problem loading this world" and preventing me from doing anything with it. I want it offline where their network bugs won't affect my gameplay (Internet works great everywhere else).

    Cloud storage would have been a welcome feature if it had been optional, transferring worlds between PC and console has always been a pain, but this is about the worst way they could have implemented it.

    yep, cant access my 5 year old forever world because of cloud syncing. I'm on the edge of crashing out because WHY cant i just store my world locally. It also means you cant play your worlds offline and its soooo stupid

    I object!Forcibly uploading cloud storage is a very shameless thing,So I refused to use it.
