Live photos
Does Dropbox support Live Photo’s?
According to Dropbox website: Yes, you’re able to save or back up iOS Live Photos to Dropbox. To transfer your Live and Burst Mode photos from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac computer, you can manually upload each file to your Dropbox account. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to automatically transfer Live Photos from Apple devices via camera uploads at this time.

On my experience, a live photo is often saved as two files when you're outside of the Apple ecosystem: 1 still photo + 1 short video.

Dropbox will freeze if you try to upload a live photo that was copied to your camera roll. For some reason you have to choose between camera roll or live photos for your location to upload from.
