Google’s cloud storage service Drive and it’s email platform Gmail are experiencing a major outage affecting users across Asia, the west coast of the US and Europe.
Thousands of frustrated users reported issues on the popular crowdsourcing site Downdetector, which tracks social media and online services outages across the globe.
The main complaints are the inability to send emails or add any attachments. Users are also reporting excruciatingly slow uploads while others are experiencing a complete blackout of services.
“We’re investigating reports of an issue with Gmail. We will provide more information shortly,” Google said in a brief statement.
Frustrated workers vented their complaints on Down Detector. “Oh my god why do you have to be problematic at this specific time of the week my boss is gonna kill me!!!” user Hoàng Thanh Hải wrote. “I can’t even copy and paste the image file to the google slides . Oh my god. I have to do my job, Please !” added James Keen on Down Detector.
