How to import and export from and to your Dropbox account?
Instacast integrates the import and export of your subscriptions from and to Dropbox. This is done via an OPML file. OPML means Open Processor Markup Language and is basically XML. It contains the titles and links of your podcasts subscriptions. This OPML file can also be exported from iTunes.
Instacast communicates with Dropbox via a folder called "Instacast" that needs to be in your root directory of your Dropbox.
To import subscriptions into Instacast:
Export subscriptions from iTunes or from any other Podcasting application that supports OPML.
Create a folder called "Instacast" inside the root folder of your Dropbox.
Move or copy the OPML subscriptions file into the "Instacast" folder and rename it "Subscriptions.opml".
In Instacast, tap on the action bar button in the lower right corner of the subscriptions view and choose "Import from Dropbox".
Enter your Dropbox username and password if necessary. You only need to enter your username and password once. Instacast stores a token that from then on links to your Dropbox account. To unlink Instacast from your dropbox, see below.
