Are you sure you're being invited to join a Family account, and aren't just being sent an invitation to a shared folder? If it's an invitation to join a Family account, your account becomes part of the Family account and you gain access to the Family Room automatically.
If you're just being sent an invitation to a shared folder, which is what it sounds like, you need to have enough available space in your account to hold the folder you're being invited to.
