Cannot establish a secure connection after dropbox update to 111.4.472
After the dropbox app (Window 10) updates itself to the latest 111.4.472 version, I'm getting this 'Cannot establish a secure connection'.
I've checked my time on my laptop, 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 fount. The only solution is to revert back to the older version, but if I do so, the app will update itself so I'm at the beginning.
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!
Good morning. I'm dealing with a problem. Suddenly dropbox showed a message which was saying"Can't establish secure connection" and then my pc showed a second message which was saying : you computer is currently offline. please check your network settings. My settings are updated properly but it still show tha message. I was connected to internet via several netwroks but the problem remains. I found articles about similar problems which where fixed by changing the proxy option to no proxy but nothing.
Do you know what can I do?
i have the same
any one can help pls
I am also in the same boat and all the "solutions" offered are not helping. Please help!!!!
I am too
Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that this is an issue with a Dropbox update? My Dropbox was working perfectly one minute and the next all of a sudden it was all belly up and non-fuctioning. It can't be an issue on my side. Why would it work one second and then not the next?
Guys I think I did it. I found this article : https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-installs-integrations/Your-computer-is-currently-offline-Can-t-open-preferences/td-p/263094
I followed it and as it seems it is working. Briefly, download an older version of dropobox, install it and that's all.
Try this solution and let's see if that finally works!
Did it worked to you? To me finally it didn't. It seemed to working at the beggining but finally the same error was shown again.
Any solutions?

Hey fernandomtnez2002, I hope you're well today!
Please try installing this beta version of the desktop app to see if that does the trick.
If not, don't hesitate to drop me another message here - cheers!

Hi everyone, the Dropbox team released a latest beta update -112.3.254- that fixes the issue, mine is back up running, i recommend you all install and will be able to sync your files ;)
Instalé la beta

parece funcionar ... pero ten en cuenta que es una versión beta
Перестала работать синхронизация. Версия приложения 111.4.472, появляется ошибка "не удается установить защищенное интернет соединение". Никаких настроек антивируса и фаервола не изменял, просто в один момент перестала работать синхронизация. Свободного места достаточно. Подозреваю, что это связано как-то с обновлением, которое было 4 декабря.
Помогите решить проблему.(Synchronization stopped working. Application version 111.4.472, the error "cannot establish secure Internet connection" appears. I didn't change any antivirus and firewall settings, just synchronization stopped working at one moment. There is enough free space. I suspect it has something to do with the December 4th update.
Help solve the problem.)I cannot establish secure internet connection on my desktop. It sais is due to date and time errors.
Followed all steps presented here https://help.dropbox.com/pt-br/installs-integrations/desktop/cant-establish-secure-connection and the program is still not working.
Anyone already managed to solve it?

Hi Ricardoalmendra, thanks for joining the Community!
Could you confirm what anti-virus software you're running on your device? Have you tried settings the date and time to be manual, or automatic?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
hi,
Tks for your answer.
It was not the antivirus, I guess.
Donwloaded and instaled the new Beta version of dropbox and is back to work.
Thank you
been using Dropbox for 10 yrs without issue. yesterday i get a message saying "Cant establish a secure internet connection. ive tried everything i have found online from previous posts, including shutting off my antivirus and firewall completely, but there is no luck. i use my dropbox daily so i need this working. i also cant find any option to create a ticket, only help within the community.
hopefully someone can help. thanks in advance.
Im using ESET NOD32 antivirus and its all up to date. i fiddled with the clock as well b/c i saw other sites saying that the time might be off. the firewall is Windows Defender. let me know what you might like a screenshot of and ill send you anything you want.
