Frequently Asked Questions about Dropbox + Instagram integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Dropbox and Instagram

You can set up an integration where every new photo posted on your Instagram account triggers an action to automatically save the image to a specified folder in your Dropbox. This way, you don't have to manually transfer your images; our system does it for you.

While direct posting from Dropbox to Instagram isn't supported due to Instagram's API restrictions, you can use our integration tools to create a workflow where uploading an image or video to a specific Dropbox folder sends you a notification or email with all necessary post details, so you can manually finalize and publish on Instagram.

Our integration supports transferring photos and videos from your Instagram account directly into your Dropbox folders once they appear as new media on your feed. This ensures all types of content are backed up seamlessly.

Currently, only the photos and videos posted directly on your Instagram feed trigger actions in our integration for storage in Dropbox. Stories aren't supported because they have different API limitations.

The integration typically triggers the action almost immediately after a new post is detected on Instagram, ensuring that your media is backed up promptly in Dropbox without any unnecessary delay.

No, deleting a file in either your Dropbox or Instagram does not trigger any action that affects the other platform. Once files are transferred via our setup, they exist independently; removing them requires manual deletion on both platforms if needed.

Certainly! During setup, you have the option to select specific folders within your Dropbox where you'd like the media from new posts or uploads on your Instagram account stored. This gives you full control over how files are organized.
