Publish to social media from Dropbox!

Hello! 
 
My name is Amanda. My team is building a feature to help users publish videos to their final destination — whether that’s social media, YouTube, your website, or elsewhere. We hear this task is repetitive and tiresome, and you shouldn’t have to waste time downloading and uploading videos to multiple places. 
 
Starting today, you can publish videos and photos directly from Dropbox to Instagram and Facebook**. Simply open a video or photo on www.dropbox.com, and click "Publish". Soon, we’ll let you schedule posts in advance, and post to YouTube.

Note: This feature isn’t widely available to all users yet — if you don’t see the Publish button, reply to this thread with “opt-in” and we'll give your account access. 😉
 
If you’d like to collaborate and help shape the future of this feature, reply with “I’m ok for Dropbox to contact me by email” and we will reach out.

 

**You must have an Instagram Business account and a Facebook Page to publish from Dropbox. See this article for support.

 

***Update - this feature has been temporarily postponed and there is no longer an "opt-in" option for it. Thank you for your continued patience.***

Where did this feature go? I would use my phone to publish to instagram stories, posts, reels, etc. Suddenly I can't do that anymore in the app? 

This is the kind of thing that I would switch to another service for. Dropbox customer 10+ years.

Why Amanda? What kind of explanation is that? For many of us, this is a daily part of our workflow?

Need more support?
