iOS 11 Photo backup - image format compatibility

iOS 11 uses a .HEIC format for photos which is not compatible with most systems.  This has rendered the photo backup in Sync for iOS essentially unusable.  Unfortunate because I normally use it to transfer photos to my computer.

However, there is a setting in the iOS Photos app to optionally convert the image(s) to .jpg whenever an image is transferred to a Mac or PC.  Sync needs to access that setting and convert to .jpg as specified by the user.
