In the month of August, Google Services Offline Or Are Barely Reachable, Frederic Lardinois said,
Google’s engineers aren’t having a good day today. This afternoon, a number of Google service went offline or are barely reachable. These services include Google Meet, Drive, Docs, Analytics, Classroom and Calendar, for example.
While Google’s own status dashboards don’t show any issues, we’re seeing reports from around the world from people who aren’t able to reach any of these service. Best we can tell, these issues started around 6pm PT.
It’s unusual for this number of Google service to go down at once. Usually, it’s only a single service that is affected. This time around, however, it’s clearly a far broader issue.
We’ve reached out to Google and will update this post once we hear more about what happened.
Update (6:30pm PT): and we’re back. It looks like most Google service are now recovering.
