It looks like a DropBox certificate has exceeded its 367 day life, after 20th Jan 2021. I have a dozen or so of these since that date:

JayMany thanks for the suggestion. I have done that, and have been monitoring for about 10 hours now. It DOES seem to have stopped those 281 errors, so if I do not see any ID 281 against DbxSvc, in a couple more days, I will mark this as a solution. While in the Event Viewer, I DID spot 107 Event ID 320 logs, all showing the same, from last November until today.NOTE: the re-install from your link was completed at 09:44 this morning.

- JayWe appreciate the feedback on this matter.
I'd recommend keeping the app up to date, if it doesn't upgrade automatically, to see if this helps with the event logs.
Hi Jay,
I am having the same problem and I've tried to update the app but I still have the same error at the event log.
"CertFindCertificateInStore failed with: (-2146885628) Cannot find object or property"
I didn't uninstall the app following the instructions just update the app, the current version is 120.4.4598
I appreciate your help.
Tks,
Same here.
Have this for langer time now and would like to get rid of it.
I have had uninstalled it, re-installed it, and now just as suggested installed without uninstalling. Twice. Error still occurs.
Still gettting these errors
