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!

It works now! Great, many thanks.
Installing a beta version is not an accepted solution to me. I can use dropbox online until a stable version that fixes the problem is released.
Also some people here are so lazy to read the previous posts and ask for solution after 17 pages.... WTF?
Post deleted by myself.
Time/date is OK
No poxy servers
Disabled eset firewall - still fails
Running Windows 10, which is up to date
Still unable to connect on my Dell Latitude E6430
I am using dropbox for more than 5 years and didn't get any problems until now.
My desktop app keeps saying to me that I can't connect because I don't have a secure connection to check my time and date - I checked and rechecked - they are correct... I stopped the antivirus as suggested... still nothing... now when I try to save NO PROXY - I can't!!! There is a message saying I am not connected to the internet... which is not correct as well... It seems a serious problem, but none of the community solutions seem to work for me...
Please help me deal with it...
Hello Dropbox can't establish a secure internet connection and has stopped syncing files, I have followed all the help options to no avail. Can you please help
I'm in the exact same situation. Although it worked a couple of days ago. Win 10. Done everytihing that has been suggested in the forum. Following this thread.
Just recently I started getting this error. I use eset internet security, and both their recommendations and the dropbox recommendations that I have found here that attempt to address this issue, do not work. It is unfortunate that dropbox makes it so difficult to get help for this poor design on their product, but in any event I would appreciate someone providing a fix.
