After you are logged in to Cyberduck

After you are logged in, you can view, share, and add Cloud Files content through
the Cyberduck interface.

Before uploading any files or folders, ensure that your account contains at least
one folder (container) in the region where you plan to store your files. You can
create a folder by using the New Folder command from the File menu. Without
an existing folder as a guide, Cyberduck chooses a default region on its own
when performing bulk uploads.
