uploading pics.

You'll probably need them in .jpg format, not .heic.

 

Try importing your pics to Photos on the Mac and try dragging from there, if that doesn't work, export from photos as .jpg then drag.

 

I've noticed airdropping pics from my iPhone results in an .heic file, functionally useless. I've sync'd my iPhone library to Photos via iCloud, this works well.

In a similar vein I can't open pictures that other people send me which they have saved as screenshots on their phones (trying to share things from FB or whatsapp) even though they appear to be jpg files; this is with windows with picture viewer as default for jpg; but I can save them to my hard drive and then open them no problem in another more powerful picture viewer/editor; I believe it is to do with the compression algorithm used on the phones, which windows doesn't seem to like, throwing up a out of memory error, so it maybe not all jpg formats are equal. Whatsapp pics open just fine in Signal thankfully.

Weird - last time I used Windows I think some weirdness around .jpg files was corrected by renaming them .jpeg but think that was a good few years ago now
