Wow sorry about all the trouble your system is giving you!

There are two ways you can do this (they work with any service, not just Facebook/instagram)--choose depending on the social media service.

One--the longer but surefire way: Open Photos on your Mac, then select the photo(s) you want to share. Choose File>Export>Export Photos>Export. Choose the place on you computer where you would like to export to, then click Export. Now, open the folder in Finder where you exported the photos to, and drag them into your new social media post in your internet browser.

Two--the simpler way: If there is a 'Choose file', or 'Pick from Computer' button on the website you want to upload to, click it and it will open a Finder window. Scroll down in the sidebar and choose Media>Photos. Select the photos you want to upload and click Open.

Let me know this solved your problem by hitting 'This solved my question'. Thx and God bless! #Psalm23
