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!

Assuming you're on a PC not a mac, go into control panel, programs and features, and look for Dropbox and uninstall it. Click through all the boxes as any data you have in the cloud will stay there.
Download the beta version of dropbox here - https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-112-3-254/td-p/476277
I don't know if this issue affects macs or not.
Go through the installation and hopefully you can just sign in and your files can resync.

Installing a beta version is not an accepted solution to me. I can use dropbox online until a stable version that fixes the problem is released.
Also some people here are so lazy to read the previous posts and ask for solution after 17 pages.... WTF?
