Dropbox iOS Conversion of HEIC Photos to JPG on Portrait Mode Photos not Viewable on Sierra
I have my iPhone set to capture HEIC, and Dropbox client set to Save HEIC Photos As JPG.
If you take a "Portrait Mode" photo on the iPhone in HEIC, and have Dropbox convert this to JPG, the JPG is unviewable on a Mac running Sierra.
Non "Portrait Mode" photos are viewable fine on Sierra, and Portrait Mode photos that can't be viewed on Sierra, can be viewed on High Sierra.
NOTE: Portrait Mode is not the orientation of the phone, but a special mode that tries to create fake Bokeh by blurring the background through software.
System Info:
iPhone 7+ iOS 11.0.2
Dropbox for iOS v66.2.8
macOS Sierra v10.12.6
macOS High Sierra v10.13
Dropbox for Mac v35.4.20
Please see Screenshots:
macOS Sierra v10.12.6

In fact, there are many HEIC to JPG converter online and most of them are free. I also have the need to convert HEIC photos to JPG. But instead of the free tools, I selected Joyoshare HEIC Converter as it's lossless and supports many popular formats that others don't. It's easy to convert the HEIC photos to JPG or PNG or others with Joyoshare. Maybe you can have a test with its free version first.

Try other methods to convert HEIC to JPG format. iOS 11 can auto change HEIC format. When you transfer HEIF iPhone iPad to Photos, Image Capture, or a PC, the image can be converted to JPEG. Just go to Settings > Photos. In the "Transfer to Mac or PC" section, tap Keep Originals to prevent the media from being converted when importing. Or email these HEIC images, and they should be converted into JPG format. There are also many HEIC to JPG converters, online tools or desktop applications. Just google it.
I don't know how you succeeded in converting HEIC to JPG , But I failed several times ,i just want to move my pictures from iOS to Mac .
>Settings > Photos > Transfer to Mac > Keep originals
