So I am a huge Instagram junkie (Follow me! @pnkheelspnktrk). Like I love Especially taking pics of myself and posting them ha!. And I love how easy it is to use. So what does all of this have to do with my title?? Blogging Edumacation – Sneaky Sneaky?
I’ve figured out a way to get the pics on your computer over to your Instagram account! What?!? I know…I know. How can this be possible?? Especially considering it’s a phone app only?? Well my friends, I needed a way to post pics of items for sale at FabulessWardrobe.com. And since I don’t actually receive the clothes and take pics of them myself (using my phone), those little gems stay on my laptop. And it’s just too much trouble to “transfer them over the cloud” when you are staying at a hotel where you have to log-in to the internet every 5 seconds.
So here’s my secret:
Dropbox
I have a Dropbox account (it’s free). It sits up in my little toolbar at the top of my screen and each time I open my Finder (I’m on a Mac).
I just drag the pics into the Dropbox area (where the arrow is pointing) that I want to share with myself elsewhere and boom…that’s how I cheat am sneaky.
So then I pick up my phone, click the Dropbox app (it’s free) and ta-dah…my pics are waiting for me.
Next, just click on a pic that you want to save to your Photo Library, and at the bottom of the screen push/tap the button with the arrow pointing down into the file box and a screen will pop up asking if you want to save to your photo library, copy the image or print. Just click save to your photo library and now it’s time to hop over to Instagram.
Easy Peasy! 🙂
Today I’m also sharing a few more apps that I’m loving over at the Texas Women Bloggers site…click here to see. 🙂

Awesome idea!!
I am already following you on Instagram 🙂
I am obsessed with dropbox! OBSESSED!
I love Dropbox too, so a handy tool! I use Statigram to track my analytics on Instagram, Evernote for docs I want to edit everywhere (phone, desktop at work, laptop and iPad), TeuxDeux for lists, Notability for note taking during blogging conferences and a fair amount more 🙂
Dropbox is the best thing since sliced breat!
I must join dropbox it seems. Everyone is raving about it above. Thanks for the tips
I use IFFT to automatically save my instagrams to Dropbox 😉
Omg your truck is gorgeous! I know it’s not typical for women but I LOVE TRUCKS and yours is amazing girl xo
Great tip! We use Box at work which works in much the same way, but I’m not sure if they have a personal account option (read: FREE). I’m a total Instagram holdout so far, simply due to time constraints. (Have an account but only one pic posted.) But you’ve inspired me to get on the stick!
I totally never thought of this, but GREAT idea!! Thanks for sharing!
