Hi Hannah
thanks for your reply.
I uploaded the video as usual to the Instagram folder. As soon as it was done, I saw a note in the same window underneath the file: "Posted to Instagram".
Not "Post to Instagram" or "Would you like to post it to Instagram?" or any future tense or question.
POSTED. That's a past tense.
If you say that there is not such an option - how can you explain all those online posts (not just one but many, including Google AI) about having to change the setting in Dropbox to stop automatic posting to Instagram?
I would need to upload another video, I don't have the time to do it rights now.

To correct my initial response, there is a feature that allows you to post photos/videos to Instagram, however, some criteria need to be met and you'd have to follow some specific steps to do it (so it's not done automatically by itself).
Do you remember following these steps here?
