Hmm.. not ideal. If you all have an ideas/enhancement request system please consider adding a request for a more seamless/flowing handling of being able to tell the upload API to convert this HEIC file automatically upon upload or something similar. Thanks for the response. D

Thanks for the feedback! I'll pass it along, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.

    Maybe I am the only on who cares, but for me updating the API to handle the conversion is critical. I know there are a lot of API vendors out there offering HEIC to JPG and if Dropbox simply added this flow as callable by the API and allow the return file handle that would be AWESOME. One more reason to keep everything in the DROPBOX world. Obviously you all have the code there. Please consider opening up the API for it.
