Exporting to Instagram problem
I use dropbox to move pictures from my mac to my iphone, and then export them to instagram. Recently, however, when I go to export from my phone, I get a message that dropbox is linking the file and...
- I had similar issue in an Android phone. Try these
1. Make sure you have given storage access to both apps Dropbox and Photos app. Just double check usually it’s on.
2. Go to Dropbox app and tap on ‘3 dots icon’ or More options icon. Then select make available offline.
3. Now go back to Instagram and select the file location of Dropbox to select your image file. It should open now.
It seems Instagram can’t access direct dropbox files yet. They must be on storage somewhere. Cheers

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi all; thanks for your reports and happy Friday!
I think DezignerDude is on to somehting here, so could you try the steps he mentioned to try to export the files in question after offlining them and let us know if this works for you?
Thank you all for your cooperation!
Hi,
Same problem here. Started about 2 weeks ago. Samsung S9 running Android 10.
Export to Instagram Feed generates "Unable to load image" error. Export to Instagram Direct works fine.
Both Apps are up to date.
Cleared cache on both apps.
Cleared Instagam data.
Gave @DezignerDude solution a try.
Problem still persists.
Found temporary work-around by using Export/Save to device and uploading to Instagram from phone storage.
Same here. The problem still exists..... I reported the problem to Instagram...no response yet
I am having the exact same problem as everyone here has expressed, and have tried all suggestions I could possibly find online and here. Nothing has worked. Samsung S9 phone too.
