Looks like dropbox/dropbox-sdk-go-unofficial moved its modules to a v6 subfolder. dbxcli was updated on master but not released. Try go get github.com/dropbox/dbxcli@master.

EDIT: go get github.com/dropbox/dbxcli@master works to install the dependencies, but not the actual (writable) source code. For that I ended up cloning the repository separately, editing cmd/root.go, then running go build.

When running go get github.com/dropbox/dbxcli@master I get

go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.

go install github.com/dropbox/dbxcli@latest does something, but fails with errors such as

pkg/mod/github.com/dropbox/dbxcli@v3.0.0+incompatible/cmd/account.go:23:2: module github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-go-unofficial@latest found (v6.0.5+incompatible), but does not contain package github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-go-unofficial/dropbox/users
