I believe you should be able to use the Dropbox library with Newtonsoft.Json 12.0.3. (I just tried and it does seem to work for me.)

 

We did receive a report like this a few years ago, but that was apparently resolved by using a binding redirect like you already have in place.

 

It's unclear why your error message is referencing version 6.0.0.0 though, since that version is neither supported by the Dropbox library nor installed in your project, per your description.

 

There's a similar post here, which indicates it may help to reinstall the library.

Apparently upgrading from the old Dropbox API to the latest version didn't delete the old Newtonsoft.Json package correctly (Visual Studio bugs maybe). I deleted all the packages and re-installed, and it seemed to work.
