Ive hit a bit of a snag and could really use some help. I've got a bunch of photos in HEIC format, and I'm struggling to view heic files on Windows 10 (and potentially Windows 11) setup. It seems like my current setup just isn't cutting it for these types of files. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a best HEIC viewer that's compatible with Windows 10 or 11? I'm looking for something straightforward and user-friendly since I'm not exactly a tech wizard. Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!

After a bit of research and trying out a few different applications, I found a couple of solutions that worked well for me. First, I discovered that Microsoft actually offers a HEIC file extension support in the Microsoft Store, which, once installed, it seems doesn't allow me to view HEIC files directly in the Windows Photos app, I don't why.


I also tried out a third-party app called TunesBro HEIC converter. It not only let me view HEIC files seamlessly but also offered the option to convert them to JPG if needed. This was super handy for sharing photos with friends who couldn't view HEIC files or for uploading to websites that only accept JPG.


Google Photos is a popular photo sharing and storage service developed by Google. It allows users to upload, share, and manage their photos and videos from any device. It supports a wide range of photo and video formats, including the High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIC). HEIC is a format used by Apple's iOS devices for storing high-quality images in smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG. However, HEIC is not as widely supported on non-Apple platforms, which can create challenges when sharing or viewing these files.


Once uploaded, Google Photos automatically converts HEIC files to a compatible format for easy viewing across all devices. Simply click or tap on an image to view it. You can also use Google Photos' editing tools to enhance your images.


Encouraged by that success, I also decided to give TunesBro HEIC Converter a shot, especially since I often need to convert photos for sharing with friends and family or for use on websites. The ability to easily convert HEIC files to JPG has been a game changer for me. It's incredibly user-friendly and the batch conversion feature has saved me so much time.


@DemoCr785 I have installed the hevc and heic additions as Microsoft suggests. However, the photos created by modern cameras and phones support wider dynamic range than 8 bits, and these image are not supported yet bu this plugin it seems.


I have an 8Tb drive where I store my dropbox files on my Windows computer and despite setting all files to be 'online only' as well as going to Dropbox preferences and setting select sync to not sync any folders I am still getting the message "Can't sync not enough free space". In my system settings it appears the files are still taking up space on my "Apple" drive where I have drobox downloaded and have set it to sync to (I have less than 200GB of non-dropbox data on that Apple drive).


I had this problem on my Mac a year ago and solved it by checking the box on the website to not have online files take up hard drive space. I've done the same for my PC. I have unlimited space on my dropbox account. I have updated Dropbox to the latest version (released December 21st 2021). I have read through every relevant online article and forum I could find. So now I am here.

I believe I have been using Smart Sync (where I would select which folders were local or online only). I selected all of the folders and set them to online only. Then after that wasn't clearing up space, I went to Selective Sync in my settings and unchecked all the folders there.


Sorry for the delayed response. Last week I tried deleting a bunch of files on the internal drive however Dropbox still gave me the error (however I'm not sure if I completely quit and restarted Dropbox then).


Since then I uninstalled dropbox completely, and the second I did that a bunch of 'ghost' dropbox files appeared (I'm using 'ghost' cause I don't know what else to call them, my computer thinks they're taking up space even though I can't open them and they are unreadable). My computer thought these dropbox files were taking up >100Tb of space (see attached picture) which is impossible on my 8Tb drive. The size of 110Tb does make sense given it's from my business partner's shared folder and we have a lot of data on there, however to my knowledge none of those shared folders were ever downloaded or selected to be synced on this drive.


I believe these ghost files (which had never showed up on my computer before) were the primary reason for my computer/dropbox to think there was space being taken up. I know this was a problem on Mac (in terms of offline files appearing to take up space), is there a way to fix this on Windows? I would love to reinstall dropbox but worry that it will take over my computer again.


My E drive is internal. When I tried reinstalling dropbox and having the folders online (after a couple days of waiting for Dropbox to sync) I ran into the same error "cannot sync not enough disk space", however there's still several terrabytes of free space on the disk.




I thought for a second it might be because the disk is damaged, however when I ran some repair software it said it wasn't. I'll look more into this (maybe uninstall Dropbox and reinstall it on a different disk).


Just thought I'd jump in here to say that I use Smart Sync on at least two thirds of the stuff I have in Dropbox, and it still says my hard drive is 90% full, and Online Only files that cannot be opened when Dropbox is off show up as the biggest files in WinDirStat.


I have a recurring ticket/call in my environment. We have a large Windows 2012 R2 file server that is highly utilized. I have an issue where multiple users need access to file throughout the day and user X always forgets to close it and user Y calls me to find out who is in the file, so they can talk to user X have it saved and closed so they can work with it.


If go to computer management, shared folders, and open files I can of course see the offending user and let the user needing access know who is in the file, or in the case of after hours I can close the file etc.


My ideal solution would be to fix the open file notification in office/office documents. However if there is a way the users can find this information on there own without needing to call me, or needing to give them access to computer management on the server that would be fine secondary alternative.


The user would be able to see who is locking that file. If it is working hours, I would ask the caller to call the other user instead. IT admin job is at most to find out who is using the file, up to users to call (since they all share the same file).


Without giving the user administrative privileges, not sure how you can achieve that. And I suspect the same thing is true of Process Explorer (a great tool btw, but you do need admin rights for most of that tool).


I have an issue where multiple users need access to file throughout the day and user X always forgets to close it and user Y calls me to find out who is in the file, so they can talk to user X have it saved and closed so they can work with it.


make sure to configure Powershell accordingly -v.io/powershell-commands-scripts-not-work-can-fix/ . Moreover, you can add some intelligence to that script that will make sure to automatically close sessions during after-hours, for example.


Hey everyone! I need some assistance with figuring out how to change the permissions on multiple files at once. I recently had to reload my computer, and pulling files back onto my local disk from my SSD is sending me into an error loop of "access denied". I was able to finally get the files back onto my local disk, but all of the files remain inaccessible due to being "locked" behind an administrator that no longer exists on this PC.


The only fix I'm seeing is going into the security properties and selecting a principal for each file. However, there are tens of thousands of files that need to be unlocked via this method, and I'm not seeing any way of changing permissions on multiple files simultaneously. I just don't see this being viable time management, so I'm really hoping someone here has an alternative method for me. Thanks so much!
