Where should I Save my Minecraft Settings folder?
The idea is to make sure that the saved games folder, matches your launcher_profiles.json file. For this example I am going to use version 1.15.2 of MC. Your saved games may be in a different folder depending on your version and type of MC.

One post says to look here "C:\Users {myname}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe" I do not have a Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder.

As we mentioned in our How To Get Started With Minecraft article, the game is in the form of an executable Jar file. It creates a directory on your computer for your saved worlds and settings, but it differs depending on what OS you’re running. On Windows:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
Take note that the AppData directory is hidden, so be sure to show hidden files from within Folder Options. On Mac OS:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/minecraft
On Linux:
/home/username/.minecraft
Wouldn’t it be great if you could just keep your save files in one place, but have it be accessible by Minecraft on all of your computers? Using Dropbox, this is pretty easy to do. First of all, make sure you have a backup of your save file somewhere else, in case you mess up. Next, move the “saves” folder from its original location to your Dropbox folder:
To recap, you should NOT have a “saves” folder in your Minecraft settings folder. You should have one somewhere in Dropbox and saved somewhere else as a backup. Now comes the tricky part: you have to create “symbolic links” to that folder on your computer, using the command-line. It’s not very difficult, regardless of what system you’re on. On Windows: Go to Start > Accessories and right-clock on “Command Prompt.” Choose “Run as Administrator…” Navigate to your Minecraft directory with the following command:
cd “C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft”
The quotes will let the command execute properly even if there’s a space in there somewhere. Next, make a symbolic link to your Dropbox saves folder with the following command:
mklink –d “saves” “C:\path\to\Dropbox\saves”
Remember to enter the proper path in place of “path\to\Dropbox”. You’ll see a message pop up if you did it correctly.
