HEIC Convert to JPG doesn't work.
I had followed instructions to change from HEIC to JPG and it was just fine. Recently (yesterday) iPhone issued an update and now my pictures are only showing as HEIC.
I again followed instruction...

I did uninstall and reinstall and after calling Apple support (not knowledgeable with Dropbox) and not very helpful, I just started playing around with it. Took a new picture instead of using one in my photos and that worked and now everything seems to be back to normal. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how I fixed it because I don't know that answer!

Hi terri232, welcome to our Community!
Just to make sure we're on the same page here: it sounds like you're talking about our Camera uploads, right?
Did that happen after an OS update, or Dropbox update? Also, do you check the content locally in your camera roll, or inside the Dropbox app? If you have any screenshots, they're more than welcome.
Keep me posted!

Yes it was camera uploads and yes, right after an OS update. I have checked everything and cannot get the conversion to jpg.

Hi terri232, can you clarify the Dropbox version you're using on your mobile?
Have you tried clearing your Dropbox cache -you can do this in the app's settings-, and restarting your phone?
Also, just to make sure we're on the same page: do newly uploaded files show as HEIC when you preview them in the Dropbox app, or old ones too?

The version is 340.2.2 - I have cleared and cache and restarted. Only the new pictures appear as HEIC.
