    I've just received some news that I'd like to share with you all here!

     

    It appears that ESET has fixed the problem that was causing this error.

     

    For anyone running ESET on their device, please update to the most recent version of ESET to update to the software.

     

    Once you've done this, you should be fine to revert back to the latest stable version of the Dropbox desktop app. You can install this from here.

     

    Otherwise, you can just allow the app to auto-update to the latest stable when a new version is released.

     

    Let me know how it goes!

      Hi. Can we get an offical reply on this topic please? The problem started on last friday and people keep piling up in this thread.

       

      Is the topic under investigation? When can we go back from beta to stable version? 

       

      Regards. Sneaker42

        Thanks for all your updates here everyone!

         

        As I'm sure you've seen, this beta version of the desktop app has been suggested to resolve the issue for the moment while we look into this.

         

        I've noticed a lot of mentions of using ESET too. In these cases, I can suggest checking to see if it's been set to exclude the Dropbox certificate within the "Ask about non-visited sites" mode.

         

        Also, it would be worth ensuring that dropbox.exe is excluded from protocol filtering.

         

        I'll be in touch here with any news on the topic, so please feel free to give me a nudge here too in the meantime!
