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...

    Yes this is becoming a major turn-off. Especially as Dropbox is raising prices. Let me guess, supply chain. 8 ))

    This must be fixed. It is maddening. Every time (it seems) we share files with other people I get these requests to join our team. If I were to accidentally approve one of these requests I would inadvertently grant access to our highly sensitive files to outsiders. I should NEVER be asked to let someone join our team just because we shared a file link with someone. That is crazy and it is by far the most annoying feature of Dropbox. Please fix this!
