I keep getting the same error over and over again. I have tried every suggested resolution and nothing has worked. Anyone?

Hey AppoCaly, thanks for the nudge on this.

 

I just wanted to let you know that the team is still working on this and we'll let you know once we have an update to share.

 

In the meantime, you can try older builds of our desktop app from this page, but note that they'd automatically update to the latest version eventually. 

 

Cheers!

Thanks Walter. The point being raised by several of us now is that Dropbox has deliberately disabled the protocol used in older versions, which is why everyone who cannot upgrade also cannot sync for almost two months now. Reverting this would at least give us the possibility to sync our data. This is why this has been requested multiple times but has yet not been responded to from a technical point of view.
