# Free Family License for Personal Use

Business and Enterprise users can create a free Keeper Family Plan and easily switch between their business and personal Keeper accounts.

![](https://4290574019-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LO5CAzpxoaEquZJBpYz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6fd978d866afab8a9af6541fd03b54e4f2b239e3%2Ffree-family-license-personal-use-header.jpg?alt=media)

All Keeper Business and Enterprise users can create a free Keeper Family Plan for up to five family members with unlimited devices. Once the user sets up the Family Plan, each family member receives their own vault where they can easily share records with other members in their plan.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}

#### Important Note About Data Center Location

If you follow the link sent on your desktop computer, you'll be properly routed to the same geographic data center that is associated with your Keeper Business Vault. If you prefer to create your account on a mobile device, be sure to select the correct Data Center location (more on this below).&#x20;

#### Creating an Account on Mobile

If you'd like to create your personal account on an iOS or Android device, please note the Data Center location at the bottom of the screen. If you need to change it click on it to make a new selection.&#x20;

![Creating Account on Mobile](https://4290574019-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LO5CAzpxoaEquZJBpYz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9daf70526a699f828801d0a49e035909dc1716b5%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-01-05%20at%201.56.20%20PM.png?alt=media)

Ensure that you are selecting the correct Data Center location. If you set up your personal Keeper account in the wrong region, you'll need to contact Keeper Support to delete and recreate your account.

After your personal account has been created, it will appear as licensed in your Business vault under **Account > Subscription**.

#### Important Notes Regarding Your Personal Account

* The company managing your Business vault does not have any access rights or ability to decrypt information stored in your personal vault.
* Your linked personal account will remain free on unlimited devices for as long as the business account is active.
* If you leave the business, or if the business does not renew its subscription with Keeper, you may continue to use your account for 30 days, after which it will expire and be converted to a free trial account. Contact Keeper to purchase a Family or Unlimited subscription for all of the premium features.
* If your administrator has disabled this feature, any family plans that were created previously will remain, with the current expiration date, and new family plans cannot be created.

## Sharing Records & Folders

Once an invited family member has created their Keeper account, you can share records with them by creating a Shared Folder or by sharing individual records directly — and you can set permissions for each.

{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

Share a record by selecting it and clicking **Share**.

![Share a Record](https://4290574019-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LO5CAzpxoaEquZJBpYz%2Fuploads%2FtAv5GPuOZnVptCfkEU3Q%2FScreenshot%202026-11-06%20at%201.42.59%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media\&token=3ec5ddc5-cb5c-4bd2-a5b0-4f88515e7903)

Create a shared folder by clicking **Create New > Shared Folder.** Select a folder location from the dropdown menu, enter the shared folder name, set user and record permissions and click **Create**.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.keeper.io/enterprise-guide/personal-vaults-for-enterprise-and-business-users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
