Description
Steps to reproduce
- Upload heic photos
Expected behaviour
Photos should be stored on nextcloud as heic
Actual behaviour
Photos are converted to JPG
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
It is easier to not convert the images and leave them in their original format. Besides, I like the heic format better

Research direction
Reproduce the upload with an HEIC photo using iOS 15.7.2 and Nextcloud iOS 4.6.0.19, then trace where the iOS app converts the image during upload. Done means an uploaded HEIC photo is stored on Nextcloud in its original HEIC format rather than as JPG.
