Cannot establish a secure connection after dropbox update to 111.4.472

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 there.
A few minutes ago, I got a red X on my Dropbox icon. If I go with my mouth over the icon, I have a message "cannot establish secure internet connection". I had the same problem in a second PC about few days ago and could not solve it. The time is correct. Why suddenly it happened and what can I do to resolve it?

I have tried all of the suggestions I could find using Google search ... in my case, the date/time is correct; proxys yes/no don't matter; and disabling the firewall does not matterYes, we need help

Me too ... Windows 10 has done some usual updates (weekly) them a traditional reboot ...
This morning the red flag, and nothing seems to help.

I have the same problem and i have read on the internet that it is a common problem after updating to dropbox 111.4.472. I hope dropbox will solve the problem and correct the update.

How long will that take? How do we escalate the issue so someone pays attention?

I think that everybody who has the problem has to mail Dropbox and ask for a solution. I think they have to make a correction in the last update 111.4.472.

I think Dropbox must solve the problem!!! It is something in their latest update that is the problem.
