With latest Cyberduck, adding a Rackspace Cloud Files bookmark does not offer a region selector in the configuration. You are automatically logged into some kind of unholy hybrid where all containers from all regions are mixed together with no notation to indicate origin region. I verified this by watching the Log Drawer and noting the URLs Cyberduck was hitting when it retrieved the contents.

I suggest either a region selector at the bookmark / login configuration screen, or a region selector in the main UI once connected, allowing users to switch regions while connected. Either way, only showing content from one region at a time is a must.

To determine the region of the container, choose View → Columns → Region. This will add a Region column to the browser.

See also Regions.

Duplicate for #7970. Install one of the region specific profiles.

As you can see, there is no region column even when it is selected. In addition, this does not solve the core issue. Why even offer a CloudFiles choice in the bookmarks if, to get it to work even at all, you must download an additional profile?

Try to resize the browser window to make the columns recalculate their default widths.

CloudFiles has its own entry in the connection dropdown beside OpenStack because we supported CloudFiles before OpenStack even existed back when CloudFiles was a product from Mosso.

For the average user we think it is expected and perfectly fine to display containers from all regions. We provide the connection profiles for specific needs as yours.

I tried this. No effect. Even tried resizing the columns themselves, also no effect.
