Dropbox uploading raw files as jpg

[M&T B.]

I'm syncing my raw photos to Dropbox but they have all been converted to jpg when I check my online Dropbox. Ive tried downloading them but they stay as jpg. Google search tells me its possible to upload raw to Dropbox, but I'm confused as to how, can anyone help ?

Dropbox doesnt alter the files, however, your browser may well try and force an extension on a file - like .jpg to be 'helpful'.

What happens if you just ignore the extension on the file as it downloads and replace it with .raw?
