Description

Preflight Checklist
Problem

I'm unable to distinguish between pinned containers with the same name

Desired Solution

I'd like to see the Storage Account name shown, together with the container name, e.g. "storageaccount1/container1" instead of "container1"

Alternatives and Workarounds

Alternatively, or perhaps as a complement, consider feature request #2952

Additional Context

When multiple environments are required for a system, It is very common to end up with several storage accounts that share exactly the same structure (same containers). When working across those storage accounts, it's very convenient to pin the containers, however, at the moment it's impossible to differentiate between containers with the same name.

Research direction

Start by locating the pinned-container display entry point in Azure Storage Explorer and trace how pinned containers are labeled. Reproduce the issue with two storage accounts containing same-named containers, then verify that the account and container names are shown together without ambiguity.
