I accidentally linked two separate Business teams
Hi all, I'm afraid I mistakenly linked two business teams or accounts when accepting a shared folder. I can't seem to find any information on unlinking the two teams. These are two separate businesse...

No, they can't. Only the team admin is able to perform these steps.
Hi Hannah it says Dropbox Advanced and that I'm now a member of the other business's account. Unfortunately I no longer see the invitation to screenshot it.

You received and accepted an invitation to join someone's Business team account. In doing so, you've merged your account into theirs, taking up one of their licenses and effectively making them the owner of your account. If you were on a paid subscription you would have received a pro-rated refund for the time remaining on your account.
In order to leave the team you need to contact the team admin and ask them to convert your account back to an individual account. It's very important that they don't simply remove you from the team as doing so would delete your account. If that were to happen they only have seven days to restore the account. They must convert it.
Once your account has been converted back to an individual account you'll be on the Basic (i.e. free) plan. You can then resubscribe if you were on a paid subscription previously.
Thanks Rich, is this the only way to remedy the issue? I'm concerned they may not be responsive and time is of the essence. Dropbox support cannot do anything?
