"While the focus of Instagram is -- well, instant -- the app does allow you to reach back into your photo archives to\u00A0post older pictures to its service, as long as those\u00A0photos reside on your phone.\r\nIf the photo you want to post is somewhere else, say on your laptop hard drive or an external hard drive attached to your desktop computer, it takes a multi-step song and dance to get it posted on Instagram.\r\nBut Throwback Thursday just got easier with\u00A0Entangled Media's\u00A0Younity, a\u00A0free personal cloud service that now lets you publish photos stored on your hard drive directly to the Instagram app without any fuss. In an update posted today, getting a photo to Instagram from computer\u00A0now involves tapping a single\u00A0button.\r\n\r\nYounity had already facilitated posting to social networks like Facebook and Twitter, but Instagram had sought\u00A0to remain mobile-centric,\u00A0Alfredo Narez, chief marketing officer of Younity, told TNW.\r\n\u201CThe big advancement here is that the latest version of Younity automatically catalogues your content by device (and other views), so you can directly select the image you want posted and serve the image into the processing stage of the Instagram app.\u00A0All of the interim processes are gone...no upload, download or camera roll tricks required.\u201D\r\nYounity creates a personal cloud storage space for all your files, derived\u00A0from your devices and online services.\u00A0It lets you access all your music, photos and video without syncing. There\u2019s no configuration, management or storage limits.\r\n\r\nOnce Younity is installed on a computer(s), it will discover all the stored photos. Then, open the app\u00A0on your mobile device, browse to any photo and select the Open in Instagram button.\r\n\u00A0Once you resize the photo, it will open the Instagram app and let you apply filters or adjustments, comments and hashtags and then post right to your account, as you normally would. Just in time for #TBT.\r\n\u27A4 Younity\r\nFeatured image: Instagram Throwback Thursday blog post"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
