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!

Dear Community,
I have no idea what has happened, but since this morning my files have not been synchronised between my PC at work and my home laptop. The Dropbox shows a comment that a secure internet connection cannot be established. I see such info for the first time.
There is no problem with an internet connection, and all other internet-dependent soft seems to work fine, I have a running antiviral soft by ESET which reports no problems. Anyone can help?
Best regards,
PG

I'm having the same issues as everyone else... "Can't establish secure internet connection".
I've tried restarting the PC, uninstalling and installing again Dropbox but nothing fixed the issue.
Seems like DropBox messed up this time but so far no official explanation, aplogize and more importantly - a fix.
In the meantime, I have a question. How to disable auto-update of DropBox? Because I'm planning to uninstall it, install an old version and disable the auto-update (happened automatically two days ago, on December 4th) and never update it again.
Thanks.
