Hi, no I'm not aware of joining the team and I don't have any permissions as such. It's four years ago and I never synced it with my account then actually - it's just appeared overnight. And blocked my whole account up!
The link you sent me just says get started, it doesn't look like I am in a team as such.
Thanks

Have a try at using https://help.dropbox.com/organize/team-folders

It doesn't seem to consider me as part of the team. It says I can edit, but then when I try and remove my own access, it says I can't as this can only be done by members of the team. It then says I can't perform this action on a team shared folder.
If I did accept being part of the team it would have been four years ago, and no folders were ever added to my account previously. I also can't see anywhere that I am part of the team or have the option for leaving it. It is rendering my Dropbox account unusable now though!
