Just make sure you understand what is happening when joining a team account. You'll be asked if you want to merge your account or start a new one. If you choose merge, your account will be merged into the team, effectively making them the owner of your account. If you later want to leave the team, only the team admin can convert your account back to a personal account. If he just removes you, the account is deleted.
The other option has you create a new account with a different email address and your personal files are moved to it, then your current account is merged into the team. This keeps everything completely separate.
