err_connection_refused
Can’t seem to connect to Dropbox at all using multiple different browsers and in private /incognito mode. Keeps saying refuses to connect.
Have added Dropbox.com to trusted sites in settings, uninstalled and reinstalled the Dropbox program and browsers. Have also made sure no proxy settings are active along with making sure the program is allowed access. NOTHING WORKS!!!

It works, thank you! I just deleted the host file and it started working.
- Press Windows Key + R.
- Type %WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc into the Run window and click OK.
- Delete hosts file .

my hero!
Finally! Thank you very much
Oh finally! I've been looking for a solution since the beginning of this year! After the Christmas break all of the sudden Dropbox web was just not cooperating. Thank you!
thank you sir it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Hi, I've been using Dropbox for a few years now on my Windows computer without any issues, now for some reason it will not let me connect to the website. Just says "The site can't be reached" www.dropbox.com refused to connect. I'm using chrome but I've also tried Firefox but the problem remains? I've logged on to post this message though my phone with no issues on the same ip address, has anyone else had this problem 🤔

- Thanks for being the ONLY person to figure out how to solve this. Dropbox’s staff has been maddeningly unhelpful in regard to this particular issue.
This didn't work for me. Still have the issue
I have the same errors and tried the same fixes. I am on a mac laptop.
