Live photos (HEIC) are converted to JPEG when downloading.

[Hyoengju-Johannes-Lee]

Steps to reproduce

1. Upload a live photo (HEIC + MOV) to nextcloud & Check it was not converted to JPEG yet.
2. Save the live photo back to iPhone's photo app.
3. You will see that HEIC is converted to JPEG.

Expected behaviour

It should not convert to JPEG, but maintain HEIC as it is.

Actual behaviour

HEIC photo is converted to JPEG, which is destructive in some sense

Screenshots

If applicable, add a screenshot showing the issue.

Logs

communication.log I upload the log after downloading the live photo in the screenshots above. But, I cannot find any menaingful info...

If applicable, you can post the iOS app or server logs (removing any sensitive information).

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

It is totally wrong behavior that any user does not want.

Hey for me same Thing! Please fix it. For now, nextcloud as a Backupsolution for my iDevices is completely useless!

Ciao, it is still possible to recover the original images (with HDR, file format etc..) by doing Share -> Save to Photos. The annoying aspect of this workaroud is that you can't share more than one image at once.. :)
