I'm sure I'm doing something wrong with both my devices.and hope you can help! Many thanks in advance. It's so frustrating, it seems to me that the Dropbox app's job is to allow me to transfer my files to Dropbox, and then back again. Also, that Dropbox app doesn't transfer Live photos or videos.
In addition, I've spent hours and hours and hours transferring 2000 photos from a 2014 iPad, in batches of a 200 at a time, (because the app crashes if I try to transfer more) using the Dropbox uploader feature in the app, using the + feature, and they all turned into jpegs as well, and of course they look flat compared to the sizeable orginals, which I want to keep in their original format. I won't bore you with a screen shot of a jPeg file name. Then voila! they were transformed into jPegs. What was strange was that they took many many minutes each to transfer, just as a video would. MOV to JPG/JPEG Software will open MOV files and get file information of the file such as width, height, frame rate, video bit rate, audio sample rate, audio bit rate, audio channels.
I selected the videos in that folder, and dragged them into the my Dropbox folder which was open in the Dropbox website, like the Dropbox instructions said, and as it allows me to do. Choose one or more MOV files you want to convert and then click Open. Thanks, Jay.Well, I have the videos on my Mac in a folder (not a Dropbox folder) in Finder.
