I'm concerned about the access to folders that were shared with me
I am a 3rd party accountant and a client shares files with me through Dropbox. I recently just had another client want to share files with me via dropbox as well. I just accepted the invite from another client and they have 3 folders they have invited me to. I am concerned that each of these clients can now see the other clients information. Is this the case?

If you've been invited to shared folders, there's no way for members of one share to see or access the other share. Just make sure one of them hasn't invited you to join their Business team instead. That's different, and would give the team admin access to anything in your account.

OK, that was my concern. The new client invited me to join their business Team (I did not know the difference)
