Hi,
The short answer is that members of shared folders can see all other members, regardless of whether they are team members or not. Shared folders are intended for collaboration, and so the ability to hide membership doesn't make much sense. In the event that you would like to share files with people without them being able to see who else the files are shared with or who are members, you may use a shared link.
A similar question was addressed on the forum earlier at this link:

Well I am looking at a Dropbox folder which has been shared with me. I can't see who it has been shared with, only that there are 12 people. This is annoying because I have been tasked with sharing it with others, but I don't know who can and can't see it at present. So someone somewhere has a solution to hiding the member details!

It is a private account being used by a voluntary community group. I can't share the details online. I am currently trying to establish who the orignal owner of the folder is.
