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!

Some answers already that works. But here's another solution. Go to ESET Antivirus. SETUP> ADVANCED SETUP. WEB AND EMAIL> SSL/TLS. Look for "List of SSL/TLS filtered applications", Click EDIT. Search for the application Dropbox.exe. Select the application Dropbox.exe and the click Edit. Under Scan Action, change from Auto to Ignore. Click OK, OK, OK. On Dropbox, PAUSE SYNCING. Give it a few seconds to really pause. RESUME SYNCING.

Hi,
I have all of a sudden started receiving this message when trying to sync my Dropbox acc _Can't establish secure internet connection.
I have seen other posts re this issue and have tried the solutions offered by the community there. Still no joy.
I am quite happy that my internet connection is 100%. I've even tried 2 different routers and internet connections.
ANyone who can offer me any assistance - I'll appreciate it.
Thanks, Dave

After the dropbox app (Window 10) updates itself to the latest 111.4.472 version, I'm getting this erro message 'Can't establish secure internet connection...'
I've checked my time on my PC, firewall, router. It's fine. I've disabled firewalls and the whole Eset Security. I've checked my ports. Everything is fine. I've turned off the proxy setting inside app. Scanned my system for viruses, nothing found, the problems is not in my side. The only solution is to back to the older version, but if I do so, the app updates itself again and the problem comes back
