Use camera uploads to upload HEVC as a different file type
If you use the camera uploads feature to automatically upload your photos and videos to Dropbox, you can set your HEIF and HEVC files to upload as JPG and non-HEVC MOV files instead. Then, you can open them on non-Apple devices.
To set HEIF and HEVC files to upload as JPG and non-HEVC MOV:
- Open the Dropbox app.
- Tap the person icon.
- Tap the gear icon.
- Tap Camera Uploads. (It must be enabled to see these settings.)
- Select Save HEIC Photos as.
