Way to stop Dropbox disallow people from requesting to join our team?

Is there a way to not give people the option to join our team?   Every time I send a file to someone outside of my dropbox team (which is almost daily) they must get some kind of additional email...

Hey kaitling2structures, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you please clarify the steps you take to share files with people outside of your team? Also, are you an admin of the team or just a member?

 

Any additional information will be much appreciated!

    I have team files in my team dropbox that are shared directly with people outside my teams emails or shared with them via link. Both ways of sharing result in me getting emails all day with requests from these people outside the team asking to join. 

    If there is a way to maybe make the team 'private' or something so that it doesn't send out options for them to join the team, that would be great.
