It sounds like you didn't accept an invitation to a shared folder. Instead, it sounds like you were invited to and joined their Business team account. When doing so, you merged your account into their team account, effectively making them the owner of your account.
If this wasn't your intent you need to ask the team admin to convert your account back to an individual account. It's important that they don't just remove you from the team as doing so would delete your account. If that were to happen, the team admin only has seven days to restore your account. They must convert it back to an individual account.
