I need to save my Android photos to Dropbox directly as .jpg not .jpeg.

Hi all,

 

As of a few days ago I finally figured out a great solution to my workflow by using an Android phone to take my pictures directly into Dropbox as Android creates .jpg file extensions which is the only extension a few of my other online systems accept. After checking the process again yesterday, I noticed that right clicking on the image to get the direct link now produces a .jpeg extension in the URL and is now unusable. This literally happened within a week of me figuring out the perfect flow. Now, I am back to square one sadly. I am hoping someone out there knows the answer.

 

Many thanks!

    Jay, I will do some testing on that. Thanks.

    Has Dropbox considered being helpful and creating a quick link for their customers so they don't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get a raw link? How about giving us a raw link option?
