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!

Hello Nimo12,
Suprisingly, there are several things that may cause your Windows computer to get the current date and time incorrect.
Steps
- Check to see that your computer displays the correct date, time, and time zone.
- If it does not then check out this Dropbox help article: Errors and Other Messages
- Also, check your Windows clock settings by right clicking the clock on the bottom right side of your task bar and select 'Adjust date/time.'
- You also mentioned that your computer is getting on in years so you may also want to change-out the CMOS battery on your motherboard and then make sure the date and time in your BIOS is correct. (Safety tip: unplug and disconnect all power before working on electronic components; make sure you are well grounded before touching electronic components to prevent damage from static discharge).
