Dropbox doesnt alter the files, however, your browser may well try and force an extension on a file - like .jpg to be 'helpful'.
What happens if you just ignore the extension on the file as it downloads and replace it with .raw?[This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you're experiencing a similar behavior, feel free to start a new discussion in the Ask a Question section here.]

Just tested, iOS, copy files from SD to camera, then, sync camera roll by Dropbox App. Result is, if sync raw only, it's find. If sync raw + jpg, the orginal jpg disappeard, and the raw file renamed to jpg. I think, maybe the 'rename' function of the app mix up those 2 files as they have the same shoot time.
Dropbox, please fix it, thanks.
