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!

This is happening to me as well. System clock is correct, yet DropBox is using a SSL time sync cannot connect message. This is the first time this has happened to me in many years of DropBox usage, if I restall an older version( 105.4.651 ) It's working fine, but it's automatic updated to 111.4.472 and I get again the message: "Cannot establish a secure connection". This is a software problem!!

Looking at the posts in this thread it seems to be related to Win 10 + Latest Dropbox + ESET. As mentioned before the latest Beta solves the issue without any change to the others so curious to understand what the problem is.
