Anyone else feel lost in the last hour with no YouTube, Google drive and Gmail

Yes, I get an error 500 on Drive.

Just one of those things I guess - could be server issues their end; or perhaps even a DDoS at worst

Probably won't last for long, but just goes to show you how dependant people are on them.

So many workplaces too, although if they go for an early lunch it'll probably be fixed by the time they're back

Yes, and as an IT consultant this incident is one reason I never have much faith in The Cloud - which is basically dumping your stuff on someone else's server. Which most of the time works very well. But when it goes offline that's when it all goes shitshaped

Microsoft is fine for me, Google looks like it's down across several European countries.

This is the downside of cloud stuff, but at the same time how much is saved over the long run with cloud computing and not wasting time locally with updates and installations? That'll really balance it out

It's funny with Google as it affects businesses and recreation significantly, at least when Microsoft is down you can YouTube

The Cloud is exceptionally good. But I always recommend to my clients never to rely on it, especially moving important work-related and/or personal photos, documents and videos etc to the Cloud without having a backup on a local drive, SD card or flash pen first.

It's a hassle for sure, but at least you have a Plan B

Is that why I was trying to open Google Docs and it said it couldn't, and why my Pixel phone had a notification saying insufficient storage? I thought I had broken it

Had problems with teams all morning but I don’t use google for anything work related. R and Python don’t seem to get impacted by much No early lunch for Sunflower.

Stadia is down now , not surprised as it's starting to gain momentum. I only got it as they gave it free to YouTube premium. But could really hamper it's growth
