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!

I am getting the message "Can't establish a secure Internet Connection". I have been using Dropbox for years on this computer without probllems. I have paused my antivirus program (ESET Node 32). Downloaded the latest version of Dropbox. The time is correct on the computer. But still no good.

Further to my previous post, I have now tried to access my Dropbox on three computers, and they are all showing this message. I can access Dropbox and make changes from my phone though.

I have seen 2 solutions ...
1. Allow a Beta version to be installed ... Open dropbox.com; click the icon in the upper right; click 'settings' in the dopdown list; scroll down to 'Early releases and set to 'On'2. In eset, allow dropbox to be exempt from SSL/TSL filtering ... Open eset; F5 for advanced setup; click 'Web and Email'; click 'SSL/TLS'; at 'List of SSL/TLS filtered applications' click 'edit'; scroll through the list of applications and click on dropbox and dropboxupdate
OK?
