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!

The beta install linked to by people in thread made it work again, so unless you need a lot of fancy features, try that instead of doing a lot of ESET stuff. Dropbox broke the certificate and is fixing it with the next update it seems.

Thank you Walter .. this worked! Have a nice day! We should call you Sherlock Holmes :) You solved it.
It was not a dropbox 'problem' but some settings with Eset.

Tengo exactamente el mismo problema.
He reinstalado varias veces la aplicacion, en el pc de sobremesa no funciona, pero en los portatiles conectados a la misma red por wifi no da problemas, y tiene las misma versión.
Nunca habia tenido este problema despues de años utilizando esta aplicación

I've turned off the proxy setting inside app. Scanned my system for viruses, nothing was found. I am using Eset Anti-Virus Software. So far I have spent all day trying to resolve an issue that I did not have a week ago.
What further actions do you recommend? - jagrab6 years agoExplorer | Level 4
