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 .

It is not exactly Installation issue, but access issue. Wherever I try to access dropbox.com or any related subdomains i get:
dropbox.com refused to connect.
Try:
- Checking the connection
- Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSEDSo, I have drobox on two different machines - on one (A) this is working great, not on the other (B). This shows that router firewall is not an issue (even that I did try disabling it with no change). So it is something on PC (B).
There is not PROXY! I looked trough all Firewall settings - nothing related to Dropbox. Not trusting my eyes I did Completely disabled the Windows Firewall.. Again - same issue. I do have Bitdefender on both A and B , yet again disabling on B does not solve the problems.. Checked in Firefox, Chrome and Edge (all latest versions) ..
A bit lost on where to look for the problem at this point - ANY IDEAS?- Daphne

Hey Angelo326!
Could you try out these steps to see if that does the trick?
Let me know how it goes! YES! It worked! Thank you so much!
What was even more shocking - there were few dozen entries there that should not have been at all! WOW Which I knew what did that...
THANK YOU!
Thank you Kristo34! Your solution was the only that worked. How typical to go back and forth with the "staff" of a company like Dropbox 6 times and have no real answers. Thanks for cutting through the crap!
Lame answer! Terrible! How is that someone posting knows how to fix the problem but your own staff don't!
Thanks you, this fixed to me
Ahh do you know where to find the host file on a mac?
IT WORKS!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
