Exporting to Instagram problem

- 5 years agoI 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

I am trying to send files (jpeg) from dropbox to Instagram. I hit export to Instagram feed and then the file looks like it's downloading and then I get a message that says "unable to load image". Please help me figure out any way to transfer the jpeg files from dropbox to my phone storage, as I can not seem to open any image transfered from dropbox.

So annoying, how do we know they are aware of this hitch? It's been nearly a month now...:(
