Look, you could still convert the HEIC to JPG/PNG/JPEG format and hence fix the issue of Google Photos unable to automatically sync photos on Mac due to Drive. While that is understandable up to an extent, what isn’t is how come they forgot to add such a widely used file format to the Drive support list? Anyways, that is how things stand at this moment, and there’s nothing much that could be done from our end. So is the Search Engine giants are of this issue? Yes, they are but it might take some time before it gets resolved as there are quite a few services involved. But since HEIC falls under the non-supported list for Drive for Desktop, these files aren’t being able to get auto backed up to the clouds. This format was compatible with Backup and Sync and hence the automatic sync was taking place without any issues. For the unaware, this is the default format for all the photos stored on iPhones.

Google Photos unable to automatically sync photos on Mac due to Google DriveĪs strange as it may sound, but Google Drive for Desktop is yet to add support for the HEIC file format.
