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.

They must convert it back to an individual account.
