Based on all the info you've shared with me, it sounds like you joined a Business team with your existing Dropbox account, and now you'd like to change that.
In order for that to happen, and for your account to revert back to an individual one, you'd need to ask the Team admin, to remove you from the team and convert your account into an individual one.
Once that's done, you can ask them to invite you to said team, using a different email of yours.
If you have any questions, let me know!

Hi babakvakili, exactly!
Nothing will happen to your files, you just won't be able to add new edits, or content to the account.
This exact thing happened to me. Were you able to uncouple the accounts successfully?
