I get this message when I leave any world at any point and still don't know what to do about it.
To recreate this bug you must simply:
Open up any world in minecraft (on Xbox exclusively?)
Play it for as long as you want it doesn't really matter how long it's played
Leave and receive a message saying either (World upload failed) or (Local save successful)
For the world upload failed message I get a cancel or retry request I press retry and no matter how many times it just never syncs. This basically means that because my world didn't save to the cloud any local save data I have on my xbox will be deleted upon uninstalling minecraft or trying to transfer it over to another xbox (I've tried both and this happens) for the other message however deleting worlds never fixes the issue even when I delete old copies of big worlds (600 MB) or so but I never needed to delete any worlds before a certain update that made me install a second version of minecraft, a version that transfers your files from the original to this new verion of the game 2 or maybe 1 year ago I don't remember, which replaced the original much better working version of the game.

This issue has returned for me in the last month or so with the "World Upload Failed. Would you like to try again?" pop-up. Playing on xBox. The retry button seems to do nothing. I also was experiencing this in the 1.19x versions where the issue lead me to quit playing Minecraft for nearly a year. I was pleased to see that the issue went away for me when I launched my world again a year later in the early 1.20x versions.
What I would add to the previous report from Adam (his symptoms are consistent with mine), is that when I make a first attempt to quit and save/upload my sessions, the upload does appear to be trying to sync and is processing for a few minutes (5-10) before I get the failed message. If I go back into the world again (without restarting Minecraft), I get the failed message instantly upon quitting (not appearing to even attempt sync). Additionally, if I open another (small) world without restarting Minecraft, I will get the upload failed instantly upon quitting on other worlds as well. For the smaller worlds, this issue resets when I restart Minecraft and I am able to sync those unless I open the large world first.
It's challenging/scary because I'm not aware of a method to even detect whether and when a save game was last successfully synced in the cloud. If there are methods to do this, It would be great of someone could share.
Thanks @OcelotOnesie for re-opening this one.
Hi!
Does this issue occur on the latest versions of the game?
