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,
after upgrade to Stable Build 111.4.472 Dropbox doesn't work anymore on my Windows 8.1 installation.
Error Message (in German): Es kann keine sicher Internetverbindung hergestellt werden -> A secure internet connection cannot be established
After installing the old Stable Build 110.4.458 Dropbox worked until the automatic update process again installed Stable Build 111.4.472.
On windows 10 I don't have problems with the new build.
I also tried to switch off firewall and virus scanner but unfortunately with no result.
Is it possible to stick with an older working version of Dropbox and to switch off automatic updating?
Thanks and kind regards,

Using Beta 112.3.254 solved the problem.
