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!

Me and my 2 colleagues have a same problem.
Windows 10, v. 2004 with latest updates.
Dropbox 111.4.472.
I've already tried:
1. https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/cant-establish-secure-connection
a. change proxy
b. change time
c. restart computer
d. disable all security ... nope ...
2. delete Dropbox, install new, but I couldn't even log in, same message...
Please help asap, THX!
Same problem as everyone else - cannot establish connection. None of the fixes work.
Hi,
I have all of a sudden started receiving this message when trying to sync my Dropbox acc _Can't establish secure internet connection.
I have seen other posts re this issue and have tried the solutions offered by the community there. Still no joy.
I am quite happy that my internet connection is 100%. I've even tried 2 different routers and internet connections.
ANyone who can offer me any assistance - I'll appreciate it.
Thanks, Dave
Walter advice on ESET worked! Great, thx!
Fine. But as others have rightly observed, putting in exclusions from antivirus checks is not a perfect permanent solution. I would hope a new version of DB will quickly be released that will truly solve this thorny problem and we can all go back to being happy DB users once again!
same issue. I am replacing my PC with DEL XPS15 9500. Tried both the online and offline install with same results.
Does anyone have an older version I can install?
cant even create my login or complete final installation.
SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE!
Walter advice on ESET worked too. Thanks
This is why a forced auto-update is a HORRIBLE idea. >:(
v111.4.472 Windows Desktop Client is obviously broken.who is Walter?
did he have success?
