    OK ..........I see it all now...........epiphany........its all in the "create" folder setup..........mark this down to user error and maybe never reading the directions 🙄

     

    I do however think there should be an automate selection within the folder settings option on an existing folder...........

     

    So happy and Dropbox even shows up in my Windows File Explorer list............

     

    Apologies for my rants 

    Regards

HOLD ON...............I just went into my Dropbox via my Win10 desktop in a browser and found a "save as" within the "Camera Uploads" directory on the latest test upload photo. Upon changing the heic to a jpg file on the "..."menu just uploaded photo I got a pop up with the choice to set this folder/directory to automate the conversion to jpg. YIPEEEEE & thanks; sorry about the user error/ignorance. I still can't find that setting for the folder/directory anywhere in settings but my later test upload WORKED automatically!! Worked too well maybe as it changed to both jpg and jpeg. If I may suggest change vs adding as still need to clean up the old heic file which maybe by design but I'll take it and do mass cleanups periodically as a welcome workaround.........

 

Thanks
