It is built for agencies and freelancers who receive their assets in Dropbox and publish them on every platform. [**Get Started for Free**](https://www.postpone.app/signup) ## **Create Social Posts from Dropbox** ### From the Client Folder to a Scheduled Post in One Dialog The approved cut in the client's hand-off folder can be in a scheduled post straight from Dropbox, with nothing downloaded to your machine on the way. Pick one file or several, video or image, and each posts in the form the platform takes it. The client's folder stays exactly as they left it. ## **Dropbox Files in Content Library** ### Every Client's Assets in One Library, Labelled by Client Every file you import from Dropbox lands in Postpone's [**Content Library**](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library), labelled by client, campaign and platform, so picking media for that client's post is a filter rather than a search. The library also shows what has never gone out, so a hand-off with thirty assets and a month to fill is one view to schedule from. ## **Watermark and Edit Dropbox Media** ### Brand Each Client's Files on the Way In, Not in Their Folder Save the client's logo, handle or website as a watermark preset once and every image you import from Dropbox carries it, while the file the client approved stays exactly the file the client still has. Crop, rotate or filter in Postpone's own editor, and nothing goes back through the folder. ## Everything Postpone Does With a File From Dropbox Six things a file can do once it is in Postpone, none of which need a download. - ### Import Without Downloading Browse your Dropbox from inside the upload dialog and pull a file straight into a post or the Content Library. It never passes through your downloads folder, and Dropbox itself is untouched. - ### A Whole Hand-Off in One Visit Pick every file in the client's folder at once and they upload together. Label the batch by client in bulk and the month's deliverables are ready to schedule from one place. - ### Video as Well as Images An MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV in Dropbox posts anywhere the platform takes video, with a cover image of your choosing on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest and LinkedIn. - ### A Watermark on Every Import Your default preset, a logo or up to 500 characters of text in one of six fonts, lands on each imported image at the size, opacity and corner you set. Applied as the file arrives, if you choose. - ### Scheduled to the Client's Accounts A file attached to a post goes out at the time you pick, or at the next slot in a custom schedule, on every account you chose. Auto-repost can run it again later. - ### Results the Client Can See Every post shows up in analytics like any other, so you can report on which of the assets they handed over did the work, by likes, views and impressions, without a spreadsheet. ## Twelve Platforms From One Dropbox Folder A file from Dropbox can be scheduled to every platform Postpone publishes to. - [**Instagram**Posts, carousels and Stories](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/instagram-post-scheduler) - [**Pinterest**Pins](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/pinterest-scheduler) - [**X**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/twitter-post-scheduler) - [**Threads**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/threads-scheduler) - [**Facebook**Pages](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/facebook-post-scheduler) - [**LinkedIn**Profiles and Pages](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/linkedin-scheduler) - [**TikTok**Photo posts and video](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/tiktok-post-scheduler) - [**YouTube**Shorts](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/youtube-shorts-scheduler) - [**Reddit**Image and gallery posts](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/reddit-post-scheduler) - [**Bluesky**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/bluesky-post-scheduler) - [**Mastodon**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/mastodon-post-scheduler) - [**Tumblr**Photo posts](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/tumblr-post-scheduler) Every one of them from the same [**calendar**](https://www.postpone.app/features/social-media-scheduler), with the platform's own options in each composer. ## Connect Dropbox to Postpone in Three Steps Connect Dropbox once and your files are ready to schedule. 1. 1 ### Connect your accounts Add the social accounts you publish to, your own or a client's, then sign in to Dropbox the first time you import. 2. 2 ### Import a file into a post Bring an image or video out of Dropbox and into Postpone without downloading it first. Postpone reads your files and changes nothing in Dropbox. 3. 3 ### Schedule it and keep it Attach the file to a post, choose the accounts and set the time. It stays in your Content Library, watermarked if you set a default.

Still have questions? Check out our help center for answers to most of your questions, or reach out to our support team. [**Visit the Help Center **](https://help.postpone.app/) [**Contact us **](https://www.postpone.app/contact) ### **How do I import Dropbox files into Postpone?** You open Postpone's upload dialog, choose the Dropbox tab, sign in, and pull a file straight into the Content Library or a post without downloading it to your machine. The same dialog carries tabs for Google Drive, Google Photos, OneDrive, Box and Flickr, so an agency whose clients each use a different service works from one place, and Canva has an import button of its own. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Do Dropbox imports get my default watermark?** Yes, Postpone applies a default watermark preset to a Dropbox import as it arrives, exactly as it does to a direct upload. Only one preset can be the default at a time, so an agency switching between clients picks the preset by hand or watermarks in bulk from the library afterwards. Watermarks apply to images; videos and GIFs are left as they are. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Can my team share one Dropbox as the source for everything we post?** Yes, and Postpone's Content Library is where that pays off. The library is shared at the account level, so a file one person imports from Dropbox is available to every teammate with access to all social accounts, and a teammate limited to particular accounts or clients sees the media associated with those. [**Teams and collaboration **](https://www.postpone.app/features/teams-and-collaboration) ### **Does the file stay in Dropbox or move into Postpone?** The file stays in Dropbox and a copy lands in your Postpone Content Library. The version Postpone publishes is the one you imported, so a client replacing a file in the shared folder later does not change a post that is already scheduled. Import the new version if that is what you want to go out. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Does Postpone watch a Dropbox folder for new files?** No, Postpone imports the files you pick and nothing else. There is no folder watching and no sync, so a client adding a draft to the shared folder cannot land it in your library by accident. Select several files in one visit to the dialog to bring a whole hand-off across at once. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Can I post a video from Dropbox?** Yes, Postpone imports video from Dropbox the same way it imports an image and posts it anywhere the platform takes video. MP4 is preferred, and MOV, WebM and MKV work too. Images can be JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WebP up to 20 MB.
