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!

Changes to my Eset antivirus works for me, thank you (but i can't leave this configuration of Eset for ever, can we expect a Dropbox update ?).
Thank you.Steve

Hi There,
I've noticed yesterday that I am unable to sync some files through my win10 computer.
It shows that I am offline and my system time and date are not correct.
Actually, both of these things are working fine, and even after, few restarts and reinstalling the Dropbox app, were not able to resolve the issue.
So please tell me how to resolve this connection issue!
it says
"can't establish secure internet connection"Thanks.

So you say the beta version works. It will be corrected again in new updates, but for now, where can I find the beta version?
