+## Introduction
+Bitwarden can import your data from a large number of [applications](https://help.bitwarden.com/article/import-data/).
+
+The current importers let you only choose the format, not HOW the data is translated to Bitwarden.
+
+## Different import results for Keepass and KeepassX
+Importing from Keepass or KeepassX gives complete different results, although they use the same Keepass 2.x kbdx database:
+* Keepass XML files are imported at the **Organization** level (owner of each entry) and translates the Keepass Groups into Bitwarden **Collections**.
+* KeepassX CSV files are imported at the **User** level (owner of each entry) and translates the Keepass Groups into Bitwarden **Folders** with as main folder the name of the Keepass database.
+
+It is a lot of work in Bitwarden itself to change Collections to Folders or to transfer ownership of all the entries.
+So depending on what you want, choose the appropriate method!
+
+## Example
+### Keepass database with name 'MyVault'
+
+**Groups:**
+* Group1
+  *   Group1Sub1
+  *   Group2Sub2
+* Group2
+
+### Import via Keepass:
+
+**Owner** = Organization
+
+**Collections:**
+* Group1
+  *   Group1Sub1
+  *   Group2Sub2
+* Group2
+
+### Import via KeepassX:
+**Owner** = Logged in User
+
+**Folders:**
+* MyVault
+  * Group1
+    * Group1Sub1
+    * Group2Sub2
+  * Group2
+
+Note: you might have to create the main folder manually, as the import shows MyVault/Group1 as a Folder. Creating the folder MyVault shows the subfolders in the MMI.
+
+Note2: you can edit the folders to remove the main folder 'MyVault', or edit the exported CSV file and remove the 'MyVault/' string in each entry before importing into Bitwarden.
