Where Does Cyberduck Store Bookmarks?

Cyberduck stores bookmarks as .duck files in an OS specific support folder. Custom connection profiles sit in a Profiles folder beside them.

Each saved server is a small .duck XML file. Copying those files migrates servers between installs.

macOS has two possible roots depending on App Store sandboxing versus direct download. Windows uses the Roaming Cyberduck folder for both install types.

Where Cyberduck stores this, by platform

macOS
/Users/<user>/Library/Group Containers/G69SCX94XU.duck/Library/Application Support/duck/Bookmarks

Sandboxed location for App Store and recent macOS builds. <user> is the macOS username. Each bookmark is a .duck file. Profiles live in the sibling Profiles folder.

macOS
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Cyberduck/Bookmarks

Classic location for direct download builds. <user> is the macOS username. Check this path only if the Group Containers path has no bookmarks.

Windows
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Cyberduck\Bookmarks

Bookmarks location on Windows. <user> is the Windows login name. Profiles live in the sibling Profiles folder. Close Cyberduck before bulk copy.

Frequently asked questions

How do I migrate Cyberduck bookmarks?

Close Cyberduck, copy the .duck files to the matching Bookmarks folder on the new machine, then reopen. Copy the Profiles folder too if you use custom profiles.

Why do I see two bookmark folders on Mac?

Sandboxed and classic installs use different roots. The active one matches your install source. The other folder is stale and can be ignored once you confirm which holds current bookmarks.
