Dear all!
I started with this issue a couple of days ago and tried all the different solutions you have offered. Unfortunately none of them did the trick. After some tryouts I was able to solve the problem, herein I post the step-by-step.
1. Open the Windows Security Center.
2. Go to Firewall.
3. Click on advanced config.
4. Once the advanced settings panel opens, click on Inbound.
5. Look up Dropbox and double click on it.
6. Click on the tab "Programs and services"
7. Where it says "this program" click on exam and go to dropbox.exe which should be on program files.
8. Apply and accept. Close everything and reboot.
I hope this step-by-step helps you solves the issue.
PD. Sorry if the translation of the different tags is not accurate, I'm using Win10 x64 in Spanish.
