Thanks for posting this on our Community, vthakkar.

From your description I understand that what’s happened is that you accidentally joined another user’s Dropbox team, correct? 

Can you clarify what you mean though when saying the account is now in locked stage? Are you referring to this perhaps? 

Please send me a screenshot of the email you received (just make sure to mask your email address first.
