Hi Arivera87, thanks for messaging the Community.
It sounds like this is an invitation to join their Dropbox Business team. This means that your current Dropbox account will be part of the team, and the team admin will technically own your account and all files within.
Could you clarify what you mean by having other clients access the same account? Are you sharing your account credentials with them?
This will help me to assist further!

Thank you & sure! I have other clients that have sent me invites to access their documents via the same email (my work email).

Does that help?
