Hmm, sorry but this reel will not download for some reason. I have the same issue. It's a problem with the Instaloader library which Dropzone uses. I have already upgraded it to the latest version but that didn't solve the issue. Resolving the underlying issue with Instaloader is beyond the scope of what I can do right now.
Probably the next step is to file a bug for Instaloader for that URL here:
I've just updated the action.
Can you please do a 'Check for Updates' in the Add-on actions tab in Dropzone Settings, and it should prompt you to update the Instagram Downloader action to version 1.7. Install this update and then try the download again.
At the end of that error message it says:
Login Checkpoint required. Point your browser to /challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b
Try going to the URL it provides with instagram.com added to the front. So for the error output you have there you would goto:
https://instagram.com/challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9bRun the action again and try going to the challenge URL.
Excellent! Great to hear.
Check you have the 'Run Dropzone Action' shortcut enabled in macOS System Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders.
See screenshot below to clarify:
You can select a file in the Finder and then press Ctrl+Option+Cmd+D to put a file into Dropzone, but no you can't drop files into another app purely using the keyboard currently. It's an interesting idea though and I will consider this for a future version.
Yep, I agree this could be cool - will have a think about it. Thanks for the feedback.
I have just fixed it. Please reinstall the action from the below URL:
https://aptonic.com/actions/Image%20Search
And after that it should work as expected. Note this action is a bit fragile as Google keeps changing how image search works so it will probably break again at some point in future but it's fixed for now. You will need to be on version 1.6 or later of the action for it to work which can be installed from the above link.
Let me know how you get on.
That's great to hear. Thanks for the update.
The update that fixes this (v4.80.20) is out now. You can update from the Dropzone settings in the updates tab.
Let me know how you go with it 
Thanks for the extra info. Using the Sequoia beta was the key piece.
I've just tested and found this is a bug with Drop Bar under Sequoia.
I will be prioritizing a fix and get back to you shortly when we have an update out that resolves this.
Yep - that shouldn't happen. Dragging items out of Drop Bar and dropping them into another app should remove them from Drop Bar unless they have been locked. Is it possible the items were locked? They will show a white lock overlay if this is the case.
Otherwise, does relaunching the app or manually clearing all Drop Bars and starting fresh fix this?
If not, is this on the Mac App Store, non-Mac App Store or Setapp version of Dropzone?
I just thought I would mention that as YouTube has made it harder to download videos that are encoded with H.264, I have made changes to the YouTube downloader action that allows you to auto-convert downloaded videos from the VP9 codec to H.264 which makes them compatible with QuickTime.
To enable auto-conversion: Right-click on the YouTube downloader action in your Dropzone grid, choose Edit from the menu and then tick the ‘Convert to H.264 codec after download’ checkbox as shown below:
You can also tick this option when first adding the action. You must be on the non-Mac App Store version of Dropzone 4.80.18 or later and have the latest version of the YouTube Downloader action installed from the below link:
No problems - Great to hear
I have released an updated version of the YouTube Downloader action that should resolve this for you (v3.1). Reinstall the action from the link below and this should be resolved for you:
Awesome! That's great to hear.
Try closing the app again and then also doing:
defaults delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.aptonic.Dropzone4
Followed by return key in Terminal. Then try it again.
If still not working. Please remove the Setapp version by moving it to trash and see if the issue still occurs with the version direct from our website at https://aptonic.com
Try deleting the Dropzone 4 actions database and settings and trying again:
To do this:
1) Close Dropzone
2) Open a Terminal
3) Paste the following:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dropzone
4) Press enter
5) Relaunch Dropzone
Then try adding an action again.
Yes, this is supported. Just configure the Shortcut to receive input (example workflow below):
Then add the shortcut to the grid using the 'Run Shortcut' action. Also make sure you're running the latest version (currently 4.80.7) as the ability for Shortcuts to receive files from Dropzone was just added recently.
You'd have to create an Imgur account and authorize with that. Apple accounts are not supported for Imgur account linking.
I have found and fixed the issue causing the debug console not to open when using alternative keyboard layouts such as French AZERTY. The Cmd+Shift+D shortcut will now work regardless of which keyboard layout is chosen.
The fix is out now in version 4.80.5.
This issue is now resolved. Just make sure you're running Dropzone 4.80.4 or later.
I have updated this action to use Google Lens and it should work now. Just make sure you're running version 1.3 of this action or later. You can check which version of the action you're using by right-clicking on the Image Search action in the grid and clicking 'Edit'
The action can be installed from https://aptonic.com/actions/Image%20Search
That's interesting. Thanks for the info, I will look into that.
Could you have this key combo bound to some other system wide shortcut?
Also all three keys (Cmd+Shift+D) have to be pressed together immediately after clicking the Dropzone menu item. Not sure what else to suggest. That is definitely the key shortcut and it will open the debug console if nothing else is conflicting with it.
Maybe try relaunching Dropzone also?
