Instagram sigue siendo, a pesar de la polémica por los cambios en términos de servicio, la red social más usada desde iOS y Android. Te gusten o no los cambios en los términos de servicios (que por cierto, siguen siendo los mismos) siempre es bueno tener un respaldo del contenido en subimos ya en sea en local en nuestro ordenador o a través de otros servicios en la nube como Dropbox, que viene siendo este caso.

La aplicación en cuestión es Grambacker, que por ahora sólo está disponible para iOS, pero dentro de poco podría llegar a Android. El servicio es sencillo, se conecta con Instagram y con Dropbox para respaldar las imágenes que tenemos y tomaremos en el futuro a nuestro.

Lamentablemente la aplicación no es gratuita, pero tiene un costo de apenas 0,99 dólares. Por lo menos a mi parecer nos es costosa, y es sencilla de usar. Obviamente hay otros métodos como a través de IFTTT que nos ayuda a hacerlo desde el ordenador, pero si quieren respaldar sus fotos de Instagram en Dropbox directamente desde un iPhone por ejemplo, Grambacker es una buena alternativa.

Descarga Grambacker para iOS.

Instagram has just announced an update to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy which will go into effect starting January 16.

According to the popular photo-sharing service, Instagram has introduced this Privacy Policy update to better collaborate with Facebook, which purchased the app earlier this year.

Here’s the official word from Instagam’s blog:

Our updated privacy policy helps Instagram function more easily as part of Facebook by being able to share info between the two groups. This means we can do things like fight spam more effectively, detect system and reliability problems more quickly, and build better features for everyone by understanding how Instagram is used.

It would seem that the real difference lies in what Instagram does with your personal data. The company promises that you’ll still have complet control over who can see your content and where it is shared, but Facebook and Instagram will certainly be getting a bit more comfortable where user information is concerned.

Instagram has updated the “Information Sharing” portion of its current Privacy Policy to reflect its ties with Facebook. The clause used to mention sharing certain bits of information with “Service Providers” or other “organizations that help us provide the Service to you.” That has been edited to say the following.

We may share User Content and your information (including but not limited to, information from cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data, and usage data) with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that Instagram is part of, or that become part of that group (“Affiliates”). Affiliates may use this information to help provide, understand, and improve the Service (including by providing analytics) and Affiliates’ own services (including by providing you with better and more relevant experiences). But these Affiliates will honor the choices you make about who can see your photos.

Instagram’s “Information Storage” section also accounts for Facebook, adding an “affiliate” mention to the part where Instagram explains that it can transfer the data it collects on you, “including personal information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.”

Want more Instagram on the Web? After the recent launch of the Web viewer, Instagram is now rolling out new Web profiles, with all the features you’ve come to know from your regular mobile profile. These Web profiles include a Timeline-like set of featured photos on top, along with every photo you’ve uploaded to Instagram below. When viewing a Web profile, you can easily like and comment on photos, and also follow other users directly from the Web.

Instagram on the Web is highly popular, and with the absence of an official solution, alternatives have been springing up all over the place. While the new Web profiles are still limited – no search, no news feed and no uploading options – it’s still an easy way to share your Instagram presence with others. You can also edit your profile information from the new Web profile, which might be easier than doing so on mobile.
