tmuster2k 22 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Noticing a trend where computers with ESET installed (Home consumer or Endpoint) , is causing issue with Drop box sync to fail (Can't establish connection". Doing full disable of Protocol Filtering resolves the issue and then drop box starts syncing again. only disable of SSL/TLS filtering does not resolve issue. I assume doing a Protocol Filtering exclusion for drop box should not be applied correct? if so then how would you exclude PF from scanning drop box ?

TxRx 0 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have the same thing happening both at home and at work. At home I've been able to remove Dropbox.exe from the filtering list (not added to exclusion list) and it's working as normal now. Advanced Settings -> WEB AND EMAIL -> SSL/TLS -> List of SSL/TLS filtered applications -> Edit Then removed the line with Dropbox.exe in it. Once applied the changes and restarted Dropbox connected without issue. At work however it's a corporate environment and management of the settings is understandly by another dept so something in ESET is triggering a response from Dropbox to make it not trust the connection.

Command IT 7 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 We have also had this issue with a number of clients Creating and protocol filtering exclusion works around the issue, but I don't like having to exclude apps that interact with the Internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating Dropbox seemed to fix the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joloriquelme 1 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It is a Dropbox problem. We fixed this by installing recent Beta version. https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-112-3-254/td-p/476277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRx 0 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Good to knpw, I have relayed the below instructions to others. Seeing as there's fixes likely inbound I'd only carry these out with intention of re-enabling and adding Dropbox later on and use this as a get working now solution and not ideal.

Workplaces on the other hand I'd prefer to endure the loss of Dropbox functionality whilst ESET resolve this in a future update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,748 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 FYI to all. Eset has fixed this by creating an internal exclusion for Dropbox to SSL/TLS protocol scanning.
