Pictures in Photos aren't files, they're a result of files and the information contained in a database. This saves lots of storage space, and it makes it possible at any time to revert back to the original image. But it also means that an exported picture can never have all the information that's in Photos' database. Live Photos are a special proprietary offering from Apple, and there is no standard for transferring that information with a picture. Instead, you get a picture and a movie.

Of course, we here can't give you anything, reliable or not. We are not Apple; folks who read these posts are just users like you. Some of us hang around here from time to time in case our experience may help someone, but Apple engineers don’t read the stuff here.

If you would like to make suggestions to Apple, go here:

Feedback - Photos - Apple

Airdrop, or Sync your photos manually using the Finder - Apple Support

The only problem is that Live Photos Must sync over iCloud to keep their original form. You get a free 5GB so if you’re photos are under that amount then you can sync over iCloud.
