## 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.
