Is there a way to share a video (.avi) file in my online Dropbox account to my Instagram account, from a PC?
Thanks, Art

Hi there cmart6, thanks for nudging us on this thread. 

 

If you have the desktop app installed, you'll have a local Dropbox folder with the files that you have in your account.

 

As such, you can attach a photo to a message you'd like to send to another user on Instagram, like you would via any other folder on your computer. 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!

    Hi all!

     

    We've just released a feature that enables you to publish videos and photos to Instagram and Facebook from the Dropbox web surface. It's currently available to select users only. Open the preview of a video or photo file to try it out! 

     

    If you don't see a publish button, you may not be in the test group. If so, feel free to reach out and we can add you to the experience. 🙂
