It would be great if Dropbox API targetted the latest dotnet standard though :)

You can still have your library target .NET standard. The SDK package contains a PCL version which is compatible with .NET standard. What you need to do is change imports from dnxcore50 to portable-net45+win8 and add Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility as dependency.
