Hey damonfakhri, thanks for posting on the Community & welcome aboard! 
 
In relation to your question, I’m going to go ahead and refer back to this thread (although it isn’t a direct answer to what you are looking for) where Ed mentioned that:
 
Dropbox won't convert your files - you may be looking at their previews on web but if you upload a raw file, it will remain raw as a file. Try using the desktop app - http://www.dropbox.com/downloading
 
If you feel though that what you’re experiencing has been troubling you in any way, I’d happily follow-up on it with you. Could you confirm if this issue only occurs on the website or when you sync your files across your devices? Also, could you provide me with a screenshot so that I can have a better understanding of the behavior (omitting personal info)? 
 
Thanks in advance & I look forward to hearing back from you! Have a great day in the mean time!

    Hi Lusil, thanks very much for the reply!

    I already have dropbox installed on my desktop.

    Here is a screenshot of the issue I'm having.

    If you can help in any way, I'd very much appreciate it.

     

    Kind regards,

    Damon
