I too couldn't find an app to sync a specific album to dropbox. There is an app for android but not for ios. I was able to automate a siri shortcut to copy the album to dropbox. I automate this shortcut to run whenever I am charging my device. I am just learning the siri shortcuts. Hope this helps.

Hello Oliver88, I hope you're having a good day so far!
What I could suggest for you here might be to use the automatic camera uploads feature, you can check out a little more info about this here.
However, this would upload images from your camera roll rather than from a specific folder.
Another option I could suggest would be to import the file directly from Instagram to the Dropbox mobile app. You should have an option to "Save to Dropbox" when saving the file to your device.
Let me know if this helps!

Thakns for your reply. So it isn't possible to somehow sync a specific iOS photo album to Dropbox? I wish that IFTTT applet would work, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi Oliver88
I'm afraid it isnt possible, not without a third party integration (IFTTT as you said?)

Thanks, Mark. I can't get the IFTTT integration for this particular task to work, unfortunately. I think it might be outdated or something. Do you by any chance know of any other 3rd party intergration I might be able to check out?

Unfortunately not sorry :(
