Import/Export World folders for Minecraft Bedrock (esp Android)

Please add an import/export feature to Minecraft Bedrock, especially on the Android versions.

Because Minecraft Bedrock does not exist on Macs, the only way to network games with family/friends is to run Minecraft Bedrock through an Android emulator.  On Android, worlds are stored in Android/data subfolders.  Although 3rd party apps can back up data from these locations (as documented in your help files), they cannot write to these locations, making it impossible to restore or recover worlds for Mac or Android uses of Minecraft Bedrock.  Only the Minecraft app has full access to these locations; so the only real solution is for the Minecraft app to have an import/export feature, so that people can back up their worlds or restore in the event of data loss or re-installation.

    Android version does allow you to change where you save your worlds, such as application or external, but you can't move over once you've made it. I am in the same issue with playing on my Mac, having to play on an android emulator just for the bedrock version on macOS. I own the pc/Mac version, Playstation version, iOS Version and had to by the android version so I can play with my kids. It's a pain they don't have the bedrock version on macOS especially since they do on iOS and you can play iOS apps on macOS if they made mojang chose to. Apple have made it easier to do.
