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!

My solution(based on Walter solution) has steps like this:
1) enter advanced ESS settings (press F5)
2) Click Web and Email-> SSL / TSL-> edit
3) Excluded applications-> edit
4) For Dropbox and Dropbox Update, change the mode from automatic to "Skip"
5) restart Dropbox - izolirband6 years agoNew member | Level 2
Hi,
I suddently get the "Can't establish secure internet connection" message which I have never got before.
My date is set correctly.
I tried to disable my NOD32 antivirus, tried to change to "no proxy", tried to add dropxbox again to the trusted apps, tried uninstalling dropbox, etc.
I have windows 7.
Nothing works :-(
I must get it to work asap for business use.
Thanks,
