Dropbox Product ManagerPublish 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...
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to pop in here to wish you all a very Happy New Year and provide you with a quick update on the Publish feature.
As some of you will have noticed, the ability to publish content directly to your social media accounts is not currently available with the Dropbox app. Unfortunately, we have had to postpone this feature for the time being and we no longer have an "opt-in" option for this.
While the work has been postponed, we understand that this feature was extremely valuable for some of you and we are still hopeful that work will continue on it at some point in the future. Right now, we can not say when this will happen, but we will update this thread as soon as we know any more to ensure that you all are the very first to know.
In the meantime, we would love to hear your thoughts on how the Publish feature worked when it was available. Any information provided here could potentially help the team responsible for working on it in the future.
Thanks for your continued patience and have a great day!

Dropbox Product ManagerHi everyone,
Some of you may have noticed that the Publish button is no longer available and thus you can no longer publish content directly from Dropbox to social media. Unfortunately, we've had to put a hold on this feature, but we are hoping to revisit it again at some point in the future.
I'm really sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, I was as excited about this as all of you. If you did get a chance to use this feature while it was available, you can still reply back on this thread to share feedback. This could be really useful information for the team working on it when it comes to picking up the work again.
Thanks, and have a great day!
Amanda
What was the problem? Was it something that changed on Facebook or Instagram? Or did you just find some bugs that needed to be ironed out?
Somehow I thing it is a losing battle trying to keep up with changes made by meta...

Hi carotelfer,
Thanks for the comment and welcome to the Dropbox Community! In this case, I would imagine there were a number of different factors leading to the work being paused on this particular feature, so we can't really boil it down to one thing. We are hopeful that this work might continue again at some point in the future and all of you here will certainly be the first to know if and when that does happen.
Would you mind me asking, were you using this feature while it was available? If you were, I'd love to hear any feedback you might have on it.
Thanks, and have a great day!

No, I didn’t know about the feature until I read it here.
But I’d be sure interested to try it if it gets up and running.- Graham
Thanks for the response, carotelfer.
I'll be sure to keep you in the loop on any further developments on this.Thanks for the comment, roytheskateboy! Unfortunately, work has been paused on this feature but we are hopeful it will resume at some point in the future.
