On High Sierra, there was no problem opening the heic file, even with the .jpg extension. So changing the extension to .heic changed nothing (it still opened on High Sierra, and still could not be opened on Sierra).

Now the problem has changed a little. Under most native setting conditions, Dropbox never converts the heic to jpg, so although it correctly keeps the .heic extension, the resulting file is not easily shareable.
I have since gone back to change the native phone settings to "most compatible (JPG/MP4)" until Dropbox can get it worked out. Also, it turns out that heic photos actually are of lower quality than jpg in many cases, and since I have 256GB, I'm not really concerned about space that much. The new video file would be important to me, however.
