Here is a recent exchange from members of the Bitwarden community on Reddit: **u/sanjosanjo** on Reddit asked:   “Family plan with up to 6 users: does that mean 6 different vaults?” **u/djasonpenney** responded with: “A Family is essentially an [Organization](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/help/getting-started-organizations/) with six members. With a Free or Premium plan you create a very limited Organization that allows you to share with one other person. The basic element of sharing is a Collection. You move a vault entry into a Collection, and then people you have shared that Collection with can see that entry.”   Huge shout out to **u/djasonpenney**for helping others get the most out of Bitwarden!
