There are two problems:

1) CC doesn't know what a "configured cloud connection" is. Is it one that you have connected to in the past? If so, how does CC know that the authentication info is still available and is still correct? Note that CC deletes all authentication information and connection history whenever there is an error of any kind, so even if CC could figure out what had been used there wouldn't be any guarantee that the info is still there.

2) To overcome #1, CC would need to put all connections on the menu. This would make the menu large and unwieldy, especially for people who use only one connection.

On the other hand, I might be able to allow selection of multiple cloud providers (a set of check boxes instead of list), then a line to the menu for the each selected cloud provider. This puts the onus on the user to tell CC what to do. It also has the advantage of being mostly compatible with the current look. I will look at this.
