This automation scenario allows you to connect Instagram, Twitter, and Dropbox.
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Instagram, Twitter and Dropbox can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Instagram
This Trigger fires every time you share any new photo on Instagram.
Then these actions happen in Dropbox and Dropbox
This Action will post a new tweet to your Twitter account with a linked pic.twitter.com image. NOTE: Please adhere to Twitter’s Rules and Terms of Service.
This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to Dropbox at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter and back them up on Dropbox.
Part I
First, we need to connect Instagram, Twitter and Dropbox to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Instagram to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Instagram account, using Instagram credentials.
Connect Twitter to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Twitter account, using Twitter credentials.
Connect Dropbox to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Dropbox account, using Dropbox credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Instagram
Choose the following trigger: Any new photo by you (This Trigger fires every time you share any new photo on Instagram.).
Then set up an Action for Twitter
Choose this action: Post a tweet with image (This Action will post a new tweet to your Twitter account with a linked pic.twitter.com image. NOTE: Please adhere to Twitter’s Rules and Terms of Service.).
Then set up another Action for Dropbox
Choose this action: Add file from URL (This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to Dropbox at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Instagram, Twitter and Dropbox.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter and back them up on Dropbox!
Triggers when there is a new tweet matching your search term
Triggers when any user creates a new Tweet that contains a specific search term (like a word, phrase, username or hashtag).
This Trigger fires every time you post a new tweet.
This Trigger fires every time the Twitter user you specify tweets.
Triggers when a user of your choosing gets a new follower.
This Trigger fires every time a new tweet matches your search query. Limited to 10 tweets per check, and protected tweets will not be returned.
Upload an existing file or attachment not bigger than 500 MB.
This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to Dropbox at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.
Creates a brand new folder at the path you specify.
This Action will create a new text file at the path you specify.
This Action will append to a text file as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.
Creates a brand new text file from plain text content you specify.
A social network for sharing your life via photos, short videos, and stories
A real-time social networking platform for connecting and engaging with people
Twitter, the real-time social network, lets you share ideas, follow trends, and join conversations worldwide. Stay connected with short messages called "tweets" and engage with a diverse community.
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
