Have not tried with Dropbox, but suspect it is how the iDevice is programmed to transfer, will give dropbox and airdrop a try as well.
FWIW - Transferred a CR2 raw shot from Canon 80D to iPhone over wifi, shows as a CR2 raw file on the iPhone, transferred to computer using Airdrop, ends up a JPG on the computer. Suspect that Dropbox will be the same. I am thinking it really comes down to the phone/tablet is only programmed to convert to JPG and send.
Also, another way, you can zip raw files together at the source, use Dropbox with the zip file, and unzip at the destination. I've done that. (That is, of course, if you can unzip at the destination.)
As well, if you want to keep duplicates at the source and destination, using the zip method avoids having to make duplicates at the source before sending to Dropbox. That's because (on the Mac) zipping a few files will produce a zip file and leave the originals alone.
