This doesn't appear to be error output from the Dropbox API itself. It looks like your client wasn't able to successfully resolve the Dropbox API hostname in the first place (for reference, it is resolving correctly for me). That is, it looks like your client is attempting a DNS lookup using your DNS server at 192.168.1.1 (presumably your router) on port 53 (which is used for DNS), but that connection itself was refused. Unfortunately that's out of our control, so I can't offer much help with that. You'll need to troubleshoot your DNS server/router.

If it helps.

This is happening with a Truenas Mini XL3+

This function was working up till November 27th 2021. It is no longer working and throwing this same error code.

Is this from a third party piece of software? I.e. not one you wrote?
