    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!

Hello,

 

Recently, I keep getting the error Can't establish secure internet connection in dropbox for desktop for a few weeks now.

 

I don't have a proxy, checked the date and time, and reinstalled dropbox, hopping that it will solve the issue.

I've also disabled my antivirus temporarily, and set the proxy settings to No Proxy with no avail.

 

Unfortunately, the issue is not solved.

 

Can I please get some help with this issue ?

 

Thank you
