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!

Have the same problem on 2 machines. Last weeks it has been a lot of windows updates. The problems occured after that.

I have the same problem and i have read on the internet that it is a common problem after updating to dropbox 111.4.472. I hope dropbox will solve the problem and correct the update.

Walter advice on ESET worked too. Thanks.
But Dropbox will have to solve this problem in a more general way.

How long will that take? How do we escalate the issue so someone pays attention?

I think that everybody who has the problem has to mail Dropbox and ask for a solution. I think they have to make a correction in the last update 111.4.472.

Has stopped for me too - just the same message. This is a big deal, and a real confidence killer
