Hi. The currently available nixpkg for Dropbox is broken -- it uses a download URL that redirects to the latest version, and thus the checksum is mismatched as soon as a newer version is out.
I've modified the expression to now download the specific version the expression knows of, and bump it up to the latest 1.4.0 release; please find the patch attached. The modified expression has been tested locally. Best regards, -- Michel Alexandre Salim
