Yes, Instagram is a mobile-dominant, made for mobile app. The transferring from PC or Mac to Instagram involves an extra step and that is Dropbox, however, it isn't as easy as that. 

 

How to upload from PC or Mac to Instagram:

 

On phone, download the Dropbox app.

Enter the app and locate file in Dropbox you want.

From there, open the file to view and from there go to options and choose export

Export to phone's photo storage.

Go to home screen on phone and from there go to the phone's photos

The dropbox photo should be there and you can then upload to Instagram.

 

Any other way? Like, directly from desktop to Instagram? Naw, fam, don't think so right now that actually works for everybody and benefits the community. The technology is getting better.
