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!

Turned off ESET to see if that is the problem. It was not. No idea what I am supposed to do with Proxy settings - no idea what those are or how to make adjustments to them (as was mentioned as a possible solution in other responses). Tried to uninstall and reinstall the program and that didn't work either. My laptop is working just fine with Eset on and syncing with no issues. Not sure what else to do.

Keep me updated with any progress!
