    Hey Snapm2r, 

     

    Thanks for getting in touch on the Dropbox Community about this issue!
     
    Seems what you’re experiencing is due to the connection to our server being blocked or interrupted. As a first step, I’d recommend having a look at your settings locally, since it seems like an antivirus, firewall, security program, proxy or VPN is blocking the Dropbox desktop. Can you make sure that these steps are followed for the configuration of your firewall if you’re on a working environment and that the domains listed here are allowed or whitelisted?
     
    Should the above steps fail, then please try installing the newest version of the desktop application (32.4.xx) to see if the issues is resolved:
     
      
    Please let me know the results in your reply! 
     
    Warm regards,

    Thanks for the feedback, first thing i did was go to our firewall team and they confirmed there were no blocks, just go to show, always test it anyway... bypassed proxy and it worked. Will re-visit them today. Appreciate it.

        I had the same error after the installation. The problem was in the date and time. I readjusted my system datetime (in Control panel) and thrn reopened Dropbox and it worked!

         

        I just would like to share the knowledge

         

        Thanks,
