Edit: Found a fix for myselfGo to proxies on your Mac and disable ''Auto Proxy Discovery''. I did not realise that this needed to be disabled in order for there to be no proxies. As I have a new computer I thought proxies where basically none.
Hope this helped someone. Here's another thread with more fixes.

Or you could try to set no proxy.
*go to the taskbar, look for dropbox logo, click the logo and find settings. click it -- look for preferences...
*search for #Proxies --- change the auto-detect to no proxy.
I had tried this way to re-connected my dropbox.
Well it works well!! You can sign in your dropbox again and wait for it to syncing all your files.
Hope this works with you all too!
Sharing means caring! xoxo :grin::wink:
