Did you join the Business team using your existing account? Do you only have one email address that you use with Dropbox? If so, then your personal account would have been merged into the Business team, and your personal account no longer exists. It's now a part of the team and owned by the company.
If that's the case, then your team admin will need to convert your account to an individual account. If that's not the case and you actually have two separate accounts (each with their own email address), then you probably just connected them so they both sync separately to your computer, in which case you can disconnect them using the link that Mark provided above.

Issue: I have a personal dropbox account to which was shared several business folder links. Today, I received a notice to create a business account from a business team member. I did so using my @businessname.com email address. Now, my personal files, and only my personal files, are in my business account and in my personal account are all the shared business files plus an archive file of my personal account with nothing in it. Can anyone help me swap my files around?
