Sharing folders to instagram users

Before today I was able to share a link directly to an Instagram user. Now I'm getting this link for editing and link for viewing and not able to share. How do I fix it?

    Hi RD photos, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Can you walk me through the steps that you follow, in order for you to share links from Dropbox to Instagram? 

     

    Also, when you say that you're not able to share, can you elaborate as to what happens now?

     

    Thanks a bunch!

      Basically from inside the folder im trying to share, I would press the share button. I used to get options like copy the link, share to messenger or Instagram user. Now I get this page that says choose link type. This just started happening and I'm not able to get past this. Im doing this from an Android phone
