No internet connection error - when there is internet?

The desktop app says "No internet connection - Your computer is currently offline. PLease check your nework settings."

But my comuter is NOT offline and there is most definitely internet - I can access any website through Explorer and Firefox and ALL other web-based applications are running fine?

    Same for me.
    Trying to find out how to solve this.
    Have tried the uninstall and re-install.
    Now I get this error response.

    I have got the same problem. Dropbox version 3.4.6 works fine, as soon as Dropbox upgrades to 3.6.x it doens't work anymore.

    I cannot go back to 3.4.6 because Dropbox seems to automatically upgrade to a more recent version (3.6.x).

    I have uninstalled Bitdefender; problem remains, I have turned the firewall off, problem remains I have unstalled Dropbox several times, problem remains.

    I am runnen Windows 7, Dropbox is the only program having trouble getting to the internet all other programs work fine.

    I have same problem and there is no solution.  My Dropbox cannot be connected to Dropbox server. Everything that may block Dropbox have been removed, such as: antivirus, firewall, proxy, etc but it cannot work.

    Anyone, please advise regarding this problem.

    Thank you.
