Hubs on Cialfo is a simple, all-in-one space to support your college application journey. It gives you useful resources and content based on your interests like the countries and courses you want to study and also lets you stay organised by creating folders, uploading files, and saving important documents and links in one place.
Within Hubs, students can explore a wide range of materials, including articles, videos, and study guides, to help them plan and prepare for their applications. It also brings together relevant events, webinars, and important updates, making it easy to find everything needed in one place.
Navigating Inside a Hub
Once you enter a Hub, you will see a simple interface with three main sections: Folders, Files, and Links / Imported Items.
Folders: Organize your content by creating folders for different topics (e.g., universities, exams, applications).
Files: Upload and store important documents such as transcripts, essays, or notes.
Links / Imported Items: Save useful links, such as university websites or resources, for quick access.
You can use this space like a personal drive to keep all your important files, documents, and links organized in one place.
There are two ways to add folders, files, and links in Hubs:
1. Adding Folders, Files, and Links
You can easily organise your content within a Hub using the Add and Upload options:
Add a Folder: Click on the Add option and select Folder. You can then name it based on your preference (e.g., “Universities”, "Essays", or “Scholarships”).
Upload Files: Select the Upload File option to add documents such as transcripts, resumes, or notes directly into the Hub.
Add a Link: Click on the Add option, paste the desired link, and give it a suitable name so you can easily identify it later (e.g., the name of the university or resource).
This helps you keep everything organised and easy to access in one place.
2. Using the “New Item” Option
You can also add folders, files, and links using the New Item option available on the right-hand side of the Hub interface. Simply click on New Item and choose whether you want to create a Folder, upload a File, or add a Link. This provides a quick and convenient way to manage and organize your content within the Hub.
Syncing Google Drive
You can also sync your Google Drive using the New Item option available in the Hub. Simply click on New Item and select the option to connect your Google Drive. Once connected, you’ll be able to access and import files directly from your Google Drive into the Hub, making it easier to manage all your documents in one place.
