Cannot establish a secure connection after dropbox update to 111.4.472
After the dropbox app (Window 10) updates itself to the latest 111.4.472 version, I'm getting this 'Cannot establish a secure connection'.
I've checked my time on my laptop, router. It's fine. I've disabled firewalls and the whole Eset Security. I've checked my ports. Everything is fine. I've turned off the proxy setting inside app. Scanned my system for viruses, nothing fount. The only solution is to revert back to the older version, but if I do so, the app will update itself so I'm at the beginning.
I've just received some news that I'd like to share with you all here!
It appears that ESET has fixed the problem that was causing this error.
For anyone running ESET on their device, please update to the most recent version of ESET to update to the software.
Once you've done this, you should be fine to revert back to the latest stable version of the Dropbox desktop app. You can install this from here.
Otherwise, you can just allow the app to auto-update to the latest stable when a new version is released.
Let me know how it goes!

I'm having this same issue as well - never had it before. System clock is fine.

Hi there! I just realised that my Dropbox has stopped syncronizing two days ago, without apparent reason. I stop and resume the syncronisation but it does not work. There is a warning "impossible to establish a secure Internet connection", but I am using my PC with the same Internet connection. I know a colleague has the same problem. Is it a generalised problem? What can I do to solve it? Thank you!

da qualche giorno continua a comparire in notifica la dicitura "impossibile stabilire una connessione sicura", un problema insomma che in un certo modo pare sia legato alle impostazioni di data e ora del pc, che tra l'altro ho sincronizzato con l'orario di internet.
Qualcuno ha dei suggerimenti su come risolvere? ver 111.4.472

Walter's ESet instructions worked for me, too. Thanks. (They were very clear instructions for a non-techie like me!)
