This is the html for my button:

<a href="https://scontent-bos5-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/428411950_339418955083101_368199220363993675_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=0ce-NRUUU5sQ7kNvgEM71DQ&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;oh=00_AYArNjV13Xrqx0ES6GTEp2oGvbNtOkDp5MpdqcaCz1ur0A&amp;oe=66514ADB" data-filename="_everything_in_my_feed_begins_with_g__.jpg" class="dropbox-saver dropbox-dropin-btn dropbox-dropin-default">Save to Dropbox2</a>

clicking on this button only opens a new tab and displays the image. It does not upload the file to Dropbox
