Dropbox StaffHi Charl E., I'd be happy to look into this with you!
I'm glad that you mentioned that you have allowed Dropbox in your firewall, and that the connection issue you're experiencing isn't related to any antivirus on the device.
Could you try some additional troubleshooting steps related to the issue at hand, that I had mentioned here, and let me know more?
Keep me posted!
