Summary:
Worlds stored in the Shared folder cannot be uploaded to the cloud. When attempting to do so, the upload fails with an error message instructing the user to check their internet connection.
This behavior may be intentional, as cloud saves are tied to a specific user account. However, the error message is misleading and does not accurately describe the cause of the failure, which can confuse users.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch Minecraft Preview.
Create a new world.
Exit the world.
Navigate to Settings > Storage and remove the world from the cloud.
Close Minecraft Preview.
Navigate to:
AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock Preview\UsersOpen the folder with the user account ID and locate the world.
Move the world to:
AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock Preview\Users\Shared\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorldsRelaunch Minecraft Preview.
Navigate to Settings > Storage and attempt to upload the world to the cloud.
Observed Results:
The upload fails, and an error message appears instructing the user to check their internet connection.
Expected Results:
The upload should either succeed, or the error message should clearly indicate that worlds stored in the Shared folder cannot be uploaded and explain why.

As of the 26.30.29 Preview, the game now stalls indefinitely on the “Uploading…” pop-up, requiring the user to force close it. This is not desirable, as it may result in data loss or corruption.
