According to Microsoft Software Licence Agreement for Windows 8.1 PRO:

"You may allow up to 20 other devices to access the software installed on the licensed computer for the purpose of using file services, print services, Internet information services, and Internet connection sharing and telephony services on the licensed computer. You may allow any number of devices to access the software on the licensed computer to synchronize data between devices. This section does not mean, however, that you have the right to install the software, or use the primary function of the software (other than the features listed in this section), on any of these other devices."

While 6-7 users can easily access a folder you need to be extremely careful that they are not editing the files folders at the same time.  Letting them read the data is ok but simultaneous editing will result in errors and perhaps data loss.
