Can people please reply with WHICH problem it fixed. There appears to be TWO issues...people who can't sync their desktop app and those that can't access the Dropbox.com website and get the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED message in both Chrome and IE/Edge.

For my browser error I've done everything short of a re-format/re-install to clear the issue...including uninstalling and re-installing the BETA. Are there any Registry Keys that need to be deleted to get a clean BETA install, if it indeed fixes the browser error?
