Klijent nam je poslao pozivnicu da pistupimo njegovom DB, kliknuli smo sihronizaciju i sada je naš account (koji imamo na DB oko 4 godine) postao deo njegovog acounta i naši folderi su sada deo njegovog naloga.

The client sent us an invitation to access his DB, we clicked synchronization and now our account (which we have had on DB for about 4 years) has become part of his account and our folders are now part of his account.
How can we return our account as it was before, as the main one and completely independent of his.
