Welcome to iMore! You can select "Download and Keep Originals" in Settings > iCloud > Photos. This will force full res photos to stay local on your device.

I understand that but I have way to many photos and videos to do that. I would just like to make one album to keep the original format photos or keep certain videos on my phone at all times.

Ya I guess Dropbox will work. It's unfortunate you can't do this with either photos or Google photos. You wouldn't think it would be that hard.
