Anything inside of the 'Business' Account can be viewed by the business admin at any time. 

 

If you dont want your current account to move to the business EITHER:

  1. Set up a new account to join the business team 
  2. OR if you are using the business email for your Dropbox change the email on the account to a private one and continue to use that as is and then set up a new account with the business email and join the Team with the newly created account

You can then link the accounts via https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/link-unlink-two-accounts
