If you use the Steam Cloud to save your games, my best guess is to disable that way of saving your world files and then saving them locally (be careful with my Steam Cloud advise here as i avoid saving my games in the Steam Cloud like the plague from ancient times - so i have no plan whatsoever with that Steam Cloud nonsense....).

Why do you avoid Steam cloud if you don't mind the question?

It causes some trouble on the PC?

Next time don't just wonder around and just search[duckduckgo.com]... (btw. I just typed "valheim copy world" the "from friend" was a suggestion)

Valheim world save locations.
You decide in-game where a world is stored/saved.

With 0<X<=4 - The default max.=4 can be changed in VH's Misc menu.

Just copy the relevant world files, 7zip them and send them to your friend.

Friend can then unpack them in "NEW:" (I recommend against using the Steam cloud) and use them directly.
If that doesn't work: 1. Friend create world with same name. 2. Switch to locals save. 3. Overwrite said save with your backup (while VH isn't running).

Nothing. The world seed is just that. The seed used by VH's world generation algorithm. -> Even with the same Seed you'd get a different world today compared to ~a year ago.

"Even with the same Seed you'd get a different world today compared to ~a year ago."
You even get a (very) slightly different world if you use the same seed code twice nowadays - Trees, rocks, the layout of the land and the sea shore and some other features can move around a little bit or look a bit different due to their arrangement. (And no, i dont want to be super-clever here; this is just an additional explanation.)
