Connecting to TheLoadingDock (Or QXS)
We currently have two servers where all of our content lives:
- The Loading Dock (for 2025 & newer content)
- QXS (For 2024 & older)
If you are a designer, a Project Manager, or are just trying to work with smaller files, the connection process is the same:
- Open Finder
- Click Go, then Connect to Server*
(Or use the shortcut Command + K)
- Copy/paste the following address:
smb://qxs.echq.org
- Login using your HQ Credentials
i.e. "firstname.lastname" and the password you use for the Staff Home Page.
If you forget your password, submit a ticket and we can help you reset it.
Once connected, you will see TLD_ASSETS (for The Loading Dock) and DIGITAL_ASSETS (for QXS). Once connected, you can navigate to your team's folder structure to save your content.
*If you are not on an Elevation network, you will need to connect through VPN in order to access QXS.
If you are a videographer or audio engineer, you most likely have an ethernet or fibre connection at your desk. Click here for more info on mounting to the server directly.
